This paper describes the concept of the virtual field trip and presents a taxonomy of virtual field-trip approaches. Building on the Virtual Skiddaw project between Daden Limited and The Open University, UK, the InnovateUK funded Virtual Fieldstrips as a Service project is described. The resulting Fieldscapes system is then presented, along with how it addresses the technical, pedagogic and commercial challenges of creating a virtual fieldtrip system. This is followed by an initial evaluation of the system, and areas for future development and research are identified.
