It’s virtually fieldwork: exploring the role of digital visualisation tools (DVTs) beyond the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic shut down field-based activities across the Environment sector leading to a rapid, unplanned shift to digital alternatives. Subsequently, while much fieldwork has been resumed, some methods of visualising fieldwork activities have remained. They can support inclusion and accessibility in Environmental Education, moreover, in-person fieldwork is still not possible everywhere and Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) continue to play an important role e.g., in Ukraine where war has impacted the learning environment.
