Intermountain Histories vs Gospel Learning

Intermountain Histories is a free app that provides scholarly information and interpretive stories of historic sites and events around the Intermountain West regions of Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. Discover the histories of the region’s peoples, places, institutions, events, cultures, and more. Using an interactive GPS-enabled map, you can take virtual or physical walking tours of historic sites. As your personal tour guide, Intermountain Histories provides historical information, photographs and images, documentary videos, audio interviews, oral histories, bibliographic citations, and other resources as you explore. Hosted and managed by the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University, the collaborative project features carefully researched histories developed by students and professors from institutions around the Intermountain West. A full web-based version of the app is available at http://www.intermountainhistories.org. New pins will be dropped on the map continually as collaborators conduct new research, so check back often. Follow the project on Facebook and Twitter (@InterMtnHistory) for notices of updated content. Questions and comments can be directed to intermountainhistories@byu.edu.

Gospel Learning is a tool for Latter-Day Saints to find trusted resources to learn the gospel from the best teachers in the church. With an index many times larger than the Bible's Topical Guide, Gospel Learning matches the best content to the learning needs of the user. Thousands of videos are available on thousands of topics including many sensitive topics many LDS don't understand or have difficulty explaining to others. Parent now have a trusted application where they can direct their children, friends and other families to go to get answers to difficult gospel questions or to deepen their understanding of the gospel. Learning Tracks have also been developed to take the user through a series of videos based on interesting topics. The app will suggest videos and topics that the user will want to explore to enhance their understanding of the gospel. The classroom feature allows teachers in the gospel to load their lesson which can include text, video, pictures, scriptures, and quotes and then share that lesson via a 6 digit code where the classroom students can enter the code into the app and see the lesson. Lesson templates for Come Follow Me are also available to help teachers prepare their classroom materials. The Gospel Learning app also allows for social sharing, following others gospel learning, earning levels, achievements and badges for participating in the system.
