FeralScan Pest Mapping vs Carringbooks

Pest animals cause significant damage to our environment, the economy and society. This App can be used at any time to record the location of pest animals in your local area, record the problems they are causing, and record control actions you undertake. Your records will be submitted to the FeralScan community pest animal mapping website www.feralscan.org.au, to help develop and maintain an up-to-date picture of pest animals throughout your region. This information can be used to monitor populations, and to better target pests through coordinated pest control programs. Future versions of this app will include additional species, and more advanced mapping and data recording features. Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Carringbooks is a series of interactive stories developed for adult EAL learners. The series feature stories and language from everyday life that are relevant to adult learners living in Australia. The stories are designed to be used as tools in the classroom to accompany lessons on themes such as daily routines, going to a GP appointment, employment and other topics. Each story features audio to enable readers to listen to individual words, language chunks and whole sentences. The stories are also available as free PDFs on the Carringbush Adult Education website. This project has been made possible by funding provided by Adult Community Further Education (ACFE).
