Relocationpedagogies for fieldwork
place-based education seeks to engage students experientially in, about and for the landscape

Storymapsan ESRI geoapp
ESRI Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS• A platform for building web applications in ArcGIS• Configurable apps built with a combination of HTML and
JavaScript • Templates are open so that you can download their
source code and customize them to suit your needs• Most templates are configurable using a simple graphical
user interface• ESRI hosts the apps, they are publically available and
there are no subscription charges for educational use
How to build a Storymap• Register with ArcGIS for Developers (
https://developers.arcgis.com)• Write a script and collate media • Assemble into a csv file• Create a Storymap using ESRI AppBuilder• Load csv file• Refine the app using the ‘Builder’ tools• Save and share the link
360 panoramic images and video
360 still images and videos
Overall aim is to provide a richer sense of experience and sense of placeTraditional forms of depicting landscapes and sites are often abstracted
maps of an area e.g. Google maps, OS
plan view of a siteaerial footage
Google Earth….
Archaeological plan...
Aerial footage….
All useful in their own right
Show monument within its landscape setting BUT…...….. our students won’t get this perspective visiting the site
….. and our prehistoric counterpoints almost certainly didn’t either
360 Panoramas
Aims to bring a more embodied, first-person experience of being at the monument
Places visitor at the centre of a photographic panorama
Allows the visitor to control their own experience within a series of “nodes”
360 Panoramas
Example - https://round.me/tour/54074/view/136266/
360 video
Panoramic images good for allowing some relatively free from explorationBut what about providing a more directed narrative - a guided tour?
360 video

360 video - process
Take footage with camera (including hiding!)Extract using app - can publish straight awayOrThen edit using e.g PremiereInject 3D metadataPublish (to YouTube)
Other technologies
Use Google Streetview to create your own
Free App for Android and IOSUpload to GoogleShould appear in Streetview after approval
Landscape modelling and VR technologies
Use of gaming engine technology to produce interactive worldsFully navigableWide range of possible interactivity
