Course Introduction:

The purpose of this eLearning course is to teach students how to use a map & compass to navigate

in any environment. The course is made up of three main modules, which includes a post module

test and a final exam at the end of the course. At the end of each module, students will be given an

End of Module Tip to help them comprehend other information, which may be important while they

are navigating. The modules will cover how to use a map, how to accurately use a compass, and

then finally combining the two in order to navigate through any environment. This course will be

offered through a platform course management system of Udemy. Upon completion of the course,

students will be able to add their name to the Certificate of Completion to print out.

4

Audience:

The main audience for this course will be directed towards anyone from the age of 18 to 35, with

limited or no outdoor experience. Students will take this course in order to learn how to navigate

outdoors for hiking, camping or backpacking trips. Previous outdoor experience will not affect the

learning process for the students and will not make an impact on the overall outcome of the course.

Students will consist of a range of adventurists seeking more reliable means of navigation (other

than GPS), to survivalists, looking to learn skills that will help them survive in the worse case

scenario. This course will cater to a variety of students who can comprehend and interpret basic

navigation information. The main audience suggested for this course will include:

● Males and Females between 18 and 35 years old ● Males and Females who have limited knowledge of the outdoors ● Males and Females who depend on some form of technology to navigate ● Hikers ● Campers ● Do it Yourself individuals

5

Objectives:

These learning objectives stem from Bloom’s cognitive domain as students will have sound

knowledge to be able to recall, recognize, describe, and translate information from a map, learn the

principles of a compass, and learn how to plot a route. Upon completion of these learning

objectives, students will have developed their psychomotor skills as they will be able to

demonstrate the teacher’s action as well as manipulate it. Upon completion of the first three basics

of navigating a route, students will then improve their own decision making skills and gain

confidence in navigating a route. This allows students to think outside the box, in terms of Bloom’s

taxonomy, this is still considered the cognitive domain where students are able to synthesize their

own ideas and make judgments based on their own criteria. Upon completion of all learning

objectives students will value the steps it takes to navigate without any form of technology, this

exhibits Bloom’s affective domain where the lesson objectives have been absorbed.

1. Interpret information found on a Topographic Map (Cognitive Domain - Comprehension)

2. Recognize the parts of a compass (Cognitive Domain - Knowledge)

3. Plan a navigation route, analyzing natural obstacles (Cognitive Domain - Synthesis)

4. Assess elevation changes on Topographic Map (Cognitive Domain - Evaluation)

5. Use a compass in order to navigate a route (Cognitive Domain - Application)

Bloom’s Taxonomy:

The learning objectives for this course are focused primarily in the Cognitive Domain of Bloom’s

Taxonomy. Navigation can be considered a skill and before that skill can be developed, a

knowledge base must be attained. The design of this course and the progression through the

sections help the student attain the required knowledge base. This is achieved by covering two basic

portions of the course, map and compass. Then combining these two knowledge bases and covering

how to use both map and compass. If a practical portion of this program was implemented, a

Psychomotor Domain and Affective Domain will be reached.

7

Resources Required:

This course was designed to require minimum resources for both students and instructors. Other

than a computer with an internet connection, the students only require one compass with a dial

(degree or mils). The students will have an option to download a map which they will use to

practice throughout the course. This course can also be delivered through a CD (compact disk),

when students do not have a stable internet connection.

The most important resource requirement for instructors is a functional eLearning System. For this

project, the group used Udemy.com as an eLearning System. However after exposure to this

system, this group would not recommend using it. Udemy.com has been glitchy throughout the

design process and has constantly dropped course material which was very frustrating. Udemy.com

is very easy to use and is user friendly, but its inability to properly embed videos and html issues

proved to be a bigger problem.

If a practical navigation system is implemented in order to expose students to navigation under

supervision, other resources will be required.

Lecture 1: Introduction

The purpose of this eLearning course is to teach students how to use a map & compass to navigate

in any environment. The course is made up of three main modules, which include post module test

and a final exam at the end of the course. At the end of each module the student will be given an

will be able to add their name to the Certificate of Completion, and print it out.

Lecture 2: Course Material

In order to navigate your route you will require a compass with a dial (degrees or mills) and a

topographic map. For this course, you will be able to download a practice topo map on the

following lecture. Please print out the topo map and use it throughout the course to practice such

things as reading the topo map, shooting a bearing, planning your route, and other things.

Lecture 3: Topo Map

This section contains a copy of a topographic map for the student to print out. This map will be

used throughout the course to practice.

Section 2:Topographic Map

Lecture 4: Using a Map

What is a Topographic Map?

This particular map is a representation of the layout of the entire earth’s surface, it consists a very

important piece of information called contour lines which depicts elevation. The closer these lines

are together the steeper the elevation. Understanding how to read these lines will help you plan an

effective route avoiding natural obstacles and ensuring that you are taking the best possible path to

your objective. Overall this map gives you an idea of nearby peaks, valleys, and the type of terrain

you will be navigating through.

Colours

The different use of colours on a Topographic map represent the various landscape features.

In most cases but not all:

11

● Brown will represent contour lines and elevations ● Red will represent major roads ● Blue will represent bodies of water (lakes, rivers, oceans, etc)

● Black will represent minor roads, trails, structures, latitude and longitude lines, and other non-natural features

● Green will represent forested or vegetation areas

Lecture 5: Contour Lines

Topographic maps display changes in the terrain elevation the map covers. These elevation changes

are represented by contour lines. These lines display an increase or decrease in elevation. The closer

the lines are together, the steeper in rise in elevation. Every fifth line will have an elevation marker

which is represented by a number. The image below shows how a hill would be represented using

contour lines.

The video following this lecture will explain more about these contour lines.

Lecture 7: Scale and Legend

Scale and Legend

Every map has a legend and a scale. These two pieces of information are very important. They can

be found on either the front (one of the corners) or back of the map. Each map has this information.

On a legend you can find information such as the symbols assigned to structures like churches,

hospitals, houses, different types of roads and trails, as well as other landmarks. Most maps will use

very similar symbols to depict landmarks, however its important to understand where to find a

legend and how to locate information on that legend.

Below is an example of a legend that can be found on a topographical map.

13

Image source:

http://homepages.ius.edu/PGALVIN/g333/How%20to%20Read%20Topographical%20Maps.htm

The scale on the map can help you judge the distance between points and help you plan a realistic

route. The difference between the different scales a map uses is how detailed the map will be at the

most focused point.

Image source: http://www.uta.edu/paleomap/geol1435/mapscale.htm

A ratio scale is used where measurements on the portrayed map represents the actual measurements.

The first number of a scale will always be 1 and it represents your unit of measurement (usually

inches). The second number represents the ground distance (real life). For example, if your scale is

1:24,000, it means that one inch is equal to 24,000 inches in real life which roughly corresponds to

2.5 map inches to the mile. A 1:24,000 scale provides a lot of detail about the certain areas and a

map with a larger ratio will give less details of the area.

The image below displays a topo map with the legend located at the bottom right corner, and the

scale located at the bottom of the map.

Lecture 8: End of Module Tip: Sunset Estimation

While navigating your route in the wilderness, sometimes its important to check how much sunlight

you have left. This can be done very quickly and doesn't require any special equipment. In order to

estimate how much time you have left before sunset, you must simply extend your hand in front of

you and lining up your fingers with the horizon or tree line and the sun. Each finger represents

about 15 minutes of sunlight. Therefore by counting how many fingers are between the horizon or

tree line and the sun, multiplying that number by 15, you can find out how much time you have

before sunset.

This quiz is targeted to test the students retention of the material covering Topographic Maps.

Question 1

A Topographic Map: is a representation of the layout of the entire earth’s surface, it consists a very

important piece of information called contour lines which depicts elevation.

Answer: True

Question 2:

Contour Lines: Every fourth contour line is printed on the map in a lighter color and marked with

the elevation.

Answer: False

Question 3:

Contour Lines: the closer the contour lines, the steeper the elevation.

Answer: True


At this point the student has covered enough material to achieve the Interpret Information Found on

a Topographic Map (Cognitive Domain - Comprehension) Objective.

Section 3: Compass

Lecture 10: Parts of a Compass

1. Baseplate: all compass parts are located on the baseplate. 2. The housing: the part of the compass filled with fluid and containing the magnetic needle.

3. The needle (magnetic): the needle that points to the magnetic north. 4. The dial: displays degrees or mills 5. Index pointer: a point on the compass used as a mark to line up your dial and read the

bearing 6. Orienting lines: these lines are used to line up the compass on your map using the North to

South lines.

7. Orienting arrow: an arrow pointing to the top of the dial ( 8. Scales (usually two kinds): used to measure distance or judge size on the map 9. Magnifier: some compasses contain a magnifier, it is used to read small items on the map,

and can be used in survival situations. 10. Direction of Travel Arrow: some compasses contain a direction of arrow travel to better

judge your direction of travel when navigation using the bearing on the compass.

16

Lecture 11: What is Declination

The compass magnetic arrow is used to navigate your way in the wilderness. However the magnetic

arrow doesn't actually point to the North Pole. In fact there are two poles, the North Pole and the

Magnetic Pole. This means that the arrow points to the magnetic pole instead of the geographic

north pole. By adjusting the declination on your compass you can adjust for the difference between

the magnetic and north pole. This will ensure that you'll have a more accurate bearing on your

compass. Declination slightly changes over each year, this change is small, but after a few years can

add up to be significantly different. A specific Declination Calculation formula does exist, during

this course we will not get into it. This is due to the fact that the majority of compasses people use

don't have an adjustable declination setting. But its important to understand what declination is and

how it can affect your navigation.

The video found on the next Lecture will explore Declination and its effects and the process of

adjusting it.

Lecture 13: End of Module Tip: Secondary Compass

In case of an emergency, survival situation, or if you lose your primary compass, its always a good

idea to have a backup compass. Your secondary compass doesn't have to be as advanced or

complicated as your primary compass. You can always buy a simple directional compass that

doesn't have a baseplate and dial. With such a simple compass you can always find your way back

home by simply following the North, South, West, or East direction. These small compasses are

extremely cheap and can be picked up for less than $10. In a situation where you need one, you will

find them priceless.

Another option is to purchase an ABC watch. An ABC watch is often called a wristop computer,

because it has an Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass, hence the ABC name. This is a more

expensive option, but can be used in many situations. The upside is that it offers many other

functions while in the wilderness. The altimeter can track your elevation, the barometer can keep

track of the weather and offer a storm alarm when the pressure drops. As well as a very detailed

18

compass, which often allows you to set the declination and ensure you get accurate navigation.

However keep in mind that these watches usually go through batteries pretty quickly, so ensure that

you carry an extra battery and be familiar with process of changing the battery on your watch.

Its important to understand what you'll be using throughout your wilderness navigation and analyse

the advantages and disadvantages of all navigation devices you'll be using.


This quiz is targeted to test the students retention of the material covering the Compass.

Question 1

Using the image below, fill in the missing parts of the compass according to their number (in green)

19

Section 4: Using a Map & Compass

Lecture 15: Where are you?

Before you start anything, you must first orient your map to face North. This is done using the

following steps:

1. Turn the dial on your compass so that your orienteering arrow is pointing to the index pointer (red portion points up).

2. Now rotate the compass on your map so that the orienting lines are over the grid lines on your map. The compass should be pointing up towards to north point on the map.

3. Now rotate the map until the magnetic needle red top portion (magnetic north) goes

directly over the red portion of the orienting arrow on the dial. At this point you have oriented the map so that it faces north.

Now locate your position on the map using triangulation. This means that you locate several

features around your location such as peaks of mountains, communication towers, or any other

feature that is easily seen from your location and is located on the map.

1. Find at least two (2) prominent features around you

2. Shoot a bearing to each of the features 3. Then take your map, locate those features on the map 4. Using the bearings, draw a bearing line from each feature

Where those two lines intersect, that is your location. The more features you use, the more accurate

it will be.

21

Lecture 16: Plotting a Route

The following points have to be considered when plotting a route:

1. Natural obstacles 2. Weather conditions 3. Time and Distance to cover 4. Equipment 5. Change in elevation (if applicable)

6. The purpose of your navigation (if scenic - take a scenic route) 7. Hiking experience of those in your group (or just you)

These seven points are just suggested things to consider when planning your route. Other points

may have to be considered in different cases. Ensure you practice safe hiking and you are familiar

with the equipment you'll be using. Notify others of your plans and colour of your equipment before

you take off on your route.

Lecture 17: Shooting a Bearing

Once you have lined up your compass with your desired direction of travel towards your

destination. You must now rotate the dial on the compass so that the orienting arrow points north on

the map and the orienting lines on the dial line up with the grid lines on your map.

22

By reading the number displayed on the dial directly lined up with the index pointer, you have shot

your bearing. Now using this reference pick up your compass and turn your body until the red

portion of the magnetic needle and red portion of the orienting arrow.

Once the two are lined up (“red in the bed”) you may not step off towards your destination. You

will be moving towards point on the map you have used as a destination on the map when you shot

your bearing.

The Barcelona Field Studies Centre has an interactive application which walks you through the

process of shooting a bearing on a map. You can access the application by CLICKING HERE, try it

Lecture 19: Navigating Your Route

When navigating your route its important to break it up into manageable portions. By using the

knowledge gained from the first section of this course, you must read the topo map and plan a

manageable route. By this it means understanding natural obstacles and terrain. By avoiding natural

obstacles and moving through appropriate terrain, it will be easier and safer to navigate your route.

Once you break your route up to manageable portions you must shoot a bearing from your starting

location to the end of your first leg of the route. Once that is done, its important to measure the

distance of that leg and review some of the features on that route. Once you have completed all this,

you will then begin to navigate your first leg of the route with your bearing, throughout the move

you should check your map in order to keep track of your progress as well as keeping track of the

distance you have already covered.

So in conclusion, the following steps are required:

23

1. Break up your route into manageable portions (legs) 2. Shoot a bearing on the map from the starting location to the end of the first leg 3. Measure the distance of the leg

4. Review the features along your route 5. Navigate your first leg by using the bearing from step 2 6. Reference the map along the leg by checking the features found along the move 7. Keep track of the distance covered 8. Repeat steps 2 to 7 for the remaining legs of your route

The Barcelona Field Studies Centre has an interactive application which will help you practice

locating objectives on the map and shooting a bearing from one point to another. You can access

the application by CLICKING HERE (website source:

Lecture 20: End of Module Tip: Power Management

In case of emergency, it is always a good idea to have some sort of communication device with you.

In most cases it will be a cell phone or some type of radio. The challenge this poses in the real

world, is that after several days of navigating, these electronic devices loose their charge. In order to

ensure that your devices always have a good charge you can purchase a portable battery, such as

charger. There are different types of chargers available, solar, hand crank, or battery storage. A

device such as a Brunton Torpedo, available at your local Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) store,

will give you the ability to charge your electronic devices. The decision of which charging device to

use is strictly up to you, just remember to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each when

making your decision.

Section 6: Conclusion

Lecture 24: Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now completed the eNavigation course!

Remember to practice your navigation skills to avoid skill fade. Ensure you check your equipment

before you take off on a trail and ensure those around you know the colours of the equipment you’ll

be using.

The staff at eNavigation would love to hear your feedback on the course and material. Please send

us your feedback!

[email protected]

Lecture 25: Certificate of Completion

Once the student finishes all the course material and successfully completes the final exam, a

Certificate of Completion will be available. To motivate the student and foster positive attitude

towards navigation the student add his name to the certificate and print it.

29

Testing:

Throughout this course the students will be tested through a combination of multiple choice, true

and false, and fill in the blank questions. These tests are found at the end of each section and are

comprised of three questions each. The final exam is found at the end of the course and is

comprised of six questions.

Once the student successfully completes these tests and the final exam, it is recommended that the

students go out and practice their skills. Although at this point the course testing has been covered,

the students practical application of skills will be an effective way to test their knowledge.

Testing in terms of the e-Learning was validated through peers who successfully completed the

course and knew absolutely nothing of the subject.

Elements of Universal Instructional Design:

The design of this e-Navigation course took many factors of the Universal Instructional Design

(UID) into consideration as there are multiple modes which engage the many various learners.

These principles allow for more engagement from different lesson plans. UID ensures that learning

incorporates accessibility, flexibility, consistency, explicitness, supportiveness, and simplicity while

ensuring that the learning space will accommodate both students and instructional methods

(University of Guelph). This e-Navigation course incorporates equitable use and accessibility as it

includes many video components for certain lectures. Also, if this course was xHTML certified, the

entire course would have descriptions of pictures in code for software that would be accessible for

anyone who is visually impaired as the software would read out information. Flexibility is also

incorporated as the design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and students are

able to navigate through the curriculum as they please with no restrictions. The course is explicitly

presented as instructions are very easy to understand as it is straightforward and consistent with no

fancy words, any new terms were explained in that particular lecture. This eLearning allows

tolerance for error as it is understood that students will make mistakes and can be used with low

physical effort, the design can be used efficiently, comfortably, and with a minimum of fatigue

30

(Burgstahler). UID can be applied to this e-Navigation course alongside with discussion and hands-

on activities related to the material and the demonstration of knowledge can be tested through the

End of Section Quiz and Final Exam. Feedback should also be collected from students as an

ongoing process for improvements.
