Item Immersive virtual field trips : reflection on exploration, development, and application(2020-12-04) Pineda, Raul Edwardo; Hughes, Joan E.The purpose of this report is to explore the research and the development process of virtual field trip experiences through the creation of a 360 degree virtual field trip. Virtual field trips are emerging learning experiences that are being created to provide students access to locations and areas that might have been inaccessible in the past due to factors such as funding, student location, and safety. With the COVID-19 pandemic impacting education and learning experiences across our world, the importance of digital learning and access to quality virtual leaning has become even more important. Virtual field trips provide students with interactive virtual tours that can be enabled to be viewed as a fully immersive virtual reality experience. The virtual field trip created for this report is a tour of a dry underground cave that will serve as an example of the types of experiences that can be created to support classroom learning. The report introduces virtual field trips, describes the development process, explores the possible impact on creators and viewers, and discusses the limitations of this report and implications of integrating virtual field trips in education.
