This case study examines whether rich media (video, audio and interactive content) genuinely enhances geography fieldwork or simply adds novelty. It evaluates student engagement, learning outcomes and practical challenges.
Key points:
- Rich media was used to support pre-field preparation and post-field reflection.
- Students reported higher engagement when media was clearly linked to assessment tasks.
- Technical issues and time pressures sometimes reduced the perceived value.
- The study highlights the importance of aligning technology with learning objectives rather than using it for its own sake.
