immersive learning, virtual field trips, place-based educationAbstract
With the sudden shift to online learning during the global pandemic, there is an increased interest in earth science virtual field trips (VTFs). This work in progress poster describes a project to increase diversity and information access to introductory geology training through physically accessible VTFs. The pilot study investigates the effectiveness of an undergraduate introductory geology VFT in meeting the same real-world lab learning objectives in both desktop and immersive virtual formats.
