Treves, Richard; Viterbo, Paolo; Haklay, Mordechai – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2015
Research into virtual field trips (VFTs) started in the 1990s but, only recently, the maturing technology of devices and networks has made them viable options for educational settings. By considering an experiment, the learning benefits of logging the movement of students within a VFT are shown. The data are visualized by two techniques:…
