This is an informal assessment to help me better understand the effectiveness of “GIS Lessons for You” and its ability to teach people how to use ArcGIS Online.

-Description: Bloomsbury is an area of the London Borough of Camden, in central London, between Euston Road and Holborn, developed by the Russell family in the 17th and 18th centuries into a fashionable residential area. It is notable for its array of garden squares, literary connections (exemplified by the Bloomsbury Group), and numerous cultural, educational and health-care institutions.During World War 2, many areas of London were bombed; data of which has been released and visualised for the area in and around Bloomsbury. There are also a number of rivers and world heritage sites nearby that could have been affected by these bombs at the time – scars of which may be visable today. To show what the area may have looked like, a historic Ordnance Survey map has also been included; check out what a snapshot from that time might be like near University College London (UCL).
