Teign Valley Virtual Field Trip

Synopsis: This field trip consists of a series of virtual activities and is set in the Teign Valley in Devon. These activities are accompanied by a comprehensive resources file, which makes extensive use of maps, spreadsheet data, QuickTime panoramas and field guides covering the floral and fauna of the catchment. Data on the DVD includes that provided by the UK Environment Agency, Meteorological Office, British Geological Survey and Soil Survey of England and Wales. Each scientific activity draws on this extensive dataset and is guided by a specialist in the field. Video sequences and interactive exercises are used to teach the basics of observation, data collection, data analysis and scientific interpretation.

The DVD-ROM is self-contained with 13 individual activities and incorporates approximately 100 minutes of video. The estimated total study time to work through all the activities is slightly over 20 hours.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
