Mobile Fieldwork

The “Mobile Fieldwork” SoTEL research group explores the potential of mobile devices to enhance and facilitate practical fieldwork or situated learning environments through the application of immersive reality – encompassing the reality-virtually spectrum through augmented reality, extended reality, and virtual reality. Although initially focusing upon Biosciences contexts, the group is a transdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together educational researchers, practitioners, and developers through a design-based research methodology to address critical issues in developing student capabilities in fieldwork or authentic situated learning environments.
