Geography's ability to interpret topographic maps and orthophotographs, adoption prediction, and learning activities to promote responsible usage in classrooms

Learners find it challenging to interpret topographic maps and orthophotographs. Although the chatbot, Geography, might be useful for this purpose, not research is available regarding its abilities and limitations. Thus, the aim of this multi-phase mixed methods research was threefold, namely (a) to explore Geography'stopographic map and orthophotograph interpretation skills, (b) to determine the factors which can drive its adoption, and to (c) suggest learning activities to promote responsible usage in geography classrooms. During the first phase, an explorative case revealed that Geography can be useful to interpret topographic maps and orthophotographs, but it can also fabricate facts. During the second phase, the high adoption prediction score (six out of nine), indicated a need to responsible usage. Thus, learning activities were designed during the last phase to promote responsible use in geography classrooms.
