523 Taking Students into the Field on Their Own Time: Using the Free, NSF-Funded Flyover Country Mobile App to Design Student Self-Guided Field Experiences
Field experiences are an integral, formative part of a geoscience education. However, logistical barriers often make field trips difficult to include in undergraduate geoscience classes. This course will demonstrate using the free, NSF-funded “Flyover Country” app to design self-guided field trips that students can take on their own schedules. Participants will learn about the app, then experience an app-led group field trip near the Convention Center. Afterward, we will debrief the experience, and discuss successes, modifications, and lessons learned. Participants will then have a hands-on tutorial on adding their own field trip content to the app database.
