Advocating for Blended Pedagogy as a Shift to More Holistic Inclusive Geography
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

McPhee, Siobhán R. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
Applied geography represents the dialectic relationship between theory and application (Pacione 1999, 2004). A well-informed rigorous pedagogy must represent this dialectical relationship (Pacione 1999). How then can the relationship between the theoretical and the applied be challenged within the "spaces" of the university? I provide a…

O'Banion, Matthew S.; Lewis, Nicholas S.; Boyce, Michael W.; Laughlin, Jordan; Majkowicz, Deborah C. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
This experiment utilized advanced visualization technology for the delivery of an introductory remote sensing lesson in an undergraduate geography course. Given the numerous immersive visualization solutions available, it is now possible to leverage the capabilities of augmented, mixed, and virtual reality (AR, MR, and VR) technology in a…

McNeal, Karen S.; Ryker, Katherine; Whitmeyer, Shelley; Giorgis, Scott; Atkins, Rachel; LaDue, Nicole; Clark, Christine; Soltis, Nick; Pingel, Thomas – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
We developed and tested different pedagogical treatments using an Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox to teach introductory geoscience students about reading topographic maps at five institutions in both pilot and full implementation studies. The AR Sandbox treatments were characterized as 1) unstructured play, 2) a semi-structured lesson, and 3) a…

Godlewska, Anne; Beyer, Wanda; Whetstone, Scott; Schaefli, Laura; Rose, John; Talan, Breah; Kamin-Patterson, Sean; Lamb, Christopher; Forcione, Melissa – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2019
Faced with diminished faculty resources and increased student enrolment from 2010 to 2017, we sought to use blended learning to achieve active learning in a large c.400-student introductory geography class. Working iteratively over seven years and eight classes and using smart classrooms, better timetabling, experimentation with peer review and…

Mountrakis, Giorgos; Triantakonstantis, Dimitrios – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2012
Teaching remote sensing in higher education has been traditionally restricted in lecture and computer-aided laboratory activities. This paper presents and evaluates an engaging inquiry-based educational experiment. The experiment was incorporated in an introductory remote sensing undergraduate course to bridge the gap between theory and…

Comparing Strategies for Presenting Concepts in Introductory Undergraduate Geography: Physical Models vs. Computer Visualization
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Edsall, Robert; Wentz, Elizabeth – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2007
Two experiments investigating the benefit of computer-based applications in geography education are presented. The computer-based methods employ concepts of visualization, including animation and interactivity, to facilitate active learning. These computer-based methods are compared with physical (i.e. tangible) models, which themselves can be…
