OpenStreetMap (OSM) mapathons can offer a learner-centered means for critical data literacy and visual literacy instruction. Mapathons are coordinated humanitarian mapping events in which participants use geographic information system (GIS) data and satellite imagery to create open-source maps for humanitarian support. Visual mapping is an effective learning activity because it encourages students to use big data to create a deliverable-an open-source map-that allows instructors to engage learners in data literacy and visual literacy at the highest cognitive level.

Background Cervical cancer typically progresses over 10-20 years, making it a preventable disease and underscoring the importance of screening. In low-resource settings, Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) serve as primary screening tools. This study was conducted as part of the noncommunicable disease camps organized by the government of Karnataka, India.

Speech processing involves a complex interplay between sensory and motor systems in the brain, essential for early language development. Recent studies have extended this sensory-motor interaction to visual word processing, emphasizing the connection between reading and handwriting during literacy acquisition. Here we show how language-motor areas encode motoric and sensory features of language stimuli during auditory and visual perception, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combined with representational similarity analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Clear patient instructions are crucial for effective pharmaceutical care, but there is a notable gap between the readability of medication information and the skills of many individuals, particularly Spanish adolescents.
- In a study involving 590 students, researchers assessed their understanding of Prescription Medication Leaflets for three medications, both with and without US Pharmacopeia (USP) pictograms, using questionnaires and health literacy assessments.
- Results revealed that comprehension was generally low and fell short of European standards, but the use of pictograms significantly improved understanding, especially for students with higher health literacy levels, indicating a need for better medication labeling strategies.
