Paul N. McDaniel; Ulrike Ingram – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Amid the shift to virtual teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, educators across disciplines were faced with developing new teaching strategies for active learning and significant learning experiences. This paper discusses findings from a case study of integrating ArcGIS Online and StoryMaps for assignments and semester projects in…

Jacinta Maxwell; Katie Burke; Yvonne Salton – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Online learner engagement research has risen internationally due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in relation to experiential learning. However, this research has focused on the use of technology to access learning about a particular place rather than consider the pedagogical potential of the places in which the learner is located. This study…

Morgan, John D.; Eddy, Brian; Coffey, John W. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
With the increasing availability of web mapping application programming interfaces, those tasked with the job of developing and designing web-based geographic information systems (Web GIS) are faced with the question of how to (re)develop new and existing capabilities. While Web GIS often reproduces features currently available within desktop GIS,…

Katherine Burlingame – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Learning by doing has become a common phrase in the scholarship of teaching and learning as research continues to emphasize the benefits of active student engagement in higher education. Instead of passive vessels to be filled with information, students become the architects of their own education. While traditional ways of teaching focus on what…

Catherine Waite – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
This article reflects on the author's experience of developing a standalone geographies of sport module that is taught using an active blended learning (ABL) approach. The article argues that an ABL pedagogy is an effective way of teaching meaningful sports geography to undergraduate students. It discusses how the approach allows a diverse range…

Copeland, Alison; Tate, Simon – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Debates about how best to support students' transition from school to university have re-emerged periodically since at least the 1970s. This paper focuses upon one aspect of this transition: how to develop the quantitative skills students acquire at school throughout the first year of their degree. We report on an attempt to inject pedagogic…

John Clayton; Paul Griffin; Graham Mowl – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
In this paper we reflect on our experiences teaching human geography across two modules that pedagogically centre student reflexivity through content that has potential to be dis-comforting. Drawing upon student experiences on two final year option modules, relating to social and spatial exclusion and "race", ethnicity and multiculture,…

Douglas Mitchell; Emma W. Laurie; Richard D. Williams; Kirstie A. Fryirs; Gary J. Brierley; Pamela L. M. Tolentino – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Capacity strengthening activities -- be that in the form of courses, workshops, seminars -- have become embedded in research projects as a requirement for funding and as a means for researchers to demonstrate positive societal impacts. We apply qualitative research techniques including interviews, questionnaires and observations to scrutinise and…

McPhee, Siobhán R. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
Applied geography represents the dialectic relationship between theory and application (Pacione 1999, 2004). A well-informed rigorous pedagogy must represent this dialectical relationship (Pacione 1999). How then can the relationship between the theoretical and the applied be challenged within the "spaces" of the university? I provide a…

Hoffman, Jesse; Pelzer, Peter; Albert, Loes; Béneker, Tine; Hajer, Maarten; Mangnus, Astrid – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2021
This paper investigates how the teaching and learning about "wicked" environmental problems may be fostered through an educational approach premised on futuring -- the active imagination of the future. The growing academic interest in possible and desirable futures provides a promising starting point for restructuring education as…

Praskievicz, Sarah – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Experiential learning is recognized as a high-impact educational practice. Fieldwork is an important component of the geographic tradition. When implemented using an inquiry-based approach, fieldwork can be a highly effective form of experiential education. However, many geography instructors are dissuaded from implementing inquiry-based fieldwork…

O'Banion, Matthew S.; Lewis, Nicholas S.; Boyce, Michael W.; Laughlin, Jordan; Majkowicz, Deborah C. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
This experiment utilized advanced visualization technology for the delivery of an introductory remote sensing lesson in an undergraduate geography course. Given the numerous immersive visualization solutions available, it is now possible to leverage the capabilities of augmented, mixed, and virtual reality (AR, MR, and VR) technology in a…

Robert A. Kolvoord; Emily Grossnickle Peterson – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Recruiting undergraduate students is a significant challenge for undergraduate geography programs. Few students have robust exposure to geography in secondary school and the major has low name recognition for entering first year students. In fact, geography is often a "found" major on many campuses with students coming to the major after…

Hilger, Annaliesa; Keil, Andreas – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
The paper investigates how teacher trainees in higher education geography and external, non-scientific partners perceive and experience collaborations in an active teaching and learning approach. Such formats are recommended in education for sustainable development (ESD) but are likely to be challenging experiences for all actors involved. The…

McNeal, Karen S.; Ryker, Katherine; Whitmeyer, Shelley; Giorgis, Scott; Atkins, Rachel; LaDue, Nicole; Clark, Christine; Soltis, Nick; Pingel, Thomas – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
We developed and tested different pedagogical treatments using an Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox to teach introductory geoscience students about reading topographic maps at five institutions in both pilot and full implementation studies. The AR Sandbox treatments were characterized as 1) unstructured play, 2) a semi-structured lesson, and 3) a…
