The Design and Application of a Virtual Field Trip System

Abstract

The goal of this research is to use information and communication technology (ICT) to develop so-called “virtual field trip” s ystem and the software follows the principles of the anchored instruction, whereby we can design a worksheet for outdoor education. The system combines the anchored instruction, worksheet, and image-based VR in order to make it as a supplementary tool for students before they have a field trip and to raise their learning motivation. Besides, the research also discusses the difference between traditional outdoor education and the model mentioned above.
