Description

Field trips and the outdoor classroom are a vital part of many areas of education. Ideally, the content should be taught within a realistic environment rather than just by providing a single field trip at the end of a course. The archaeo-astronomy project located at Nottingham Trent University envisages the development of a virtual environment with associated resources and projects, allowing pupils (key stages 2 4, ages 7 16 years) to experience and explore ancient landscapes in the Peak District National Park both in the classroom and in the field.
