Hyperlocal and Virtual Fieldwork


Webinar details

The recent return to school restrictions pose significant challenges for creating a meaningful fieldwork experience for students.

This webinar will demonstrate how to collect, map, analyse and present hyperlocal fieldwork data from in and around school grounds. The session will also cover how to create meaningful virtual fieldwork resources quickly and easily to augment this hyperlocal experience.

This will be a free Teams live event on 14th July 5:30 - 6:30pm. You can join via a browser and no login is required.

The webinar will cover both human and physical geography topics but will also be relevant to any subject where fieldwork and data collection are required.
