What Felt brings to the classroom
Make maps that tell engaging stories
Style maps exactly the way the story needs, with no GIS training.
- Add pins, drawings, text, photos, PDFs, and videos to build a narrative students can explore.
- Go back in time or dive into any environment. Maps bring learning to life.
The future of mapping is collaborative
Maps help us understand the world’s most pressing problems. With Felt, you can learn how to tackle them together.
- It’s easy to invite your class, teammates, or colleagues to work together, remotely.
- Publish to the web to share your findings with the world.
Teaching tools for all skill levels
For GIS courses, Felt handles real data and real analysis, and students share their work the way professionals do: as a live link.
- For everyone else, it makes maps useful (and fun) for learning across subjects, from ecology to political science.
- Anyone can start on the Free plan, which has no time limit.
Customer spotlight
Our class translated field data into points, paths, and images on Felt. The upload feature made it easy to bring in all types of sources.
Felt helps me create historical base maps so my university students can make their own — and we can all dig into them at the same time.
My favorite maps have always been the ones made in the moment, either out of necessity or on a whim.
