This collection of fieldwork education resources has been developed through The Open Fieldwork Project at the GEES Subject Centre
This project has been supported by the JISC / Higher Education Academy Open Educational Resources Programme
The Fieldwork Education Resource Collection (FERC) brings together fieldwork education resources that are publicly available on the web to allow easy discovery, and to facilitate reuse in the GEES and wider HE community. Examples of resources found in the FERC include virtual field courses, information on field sites, support and assessment material, BS8848 risk assessments, field skills and other good practice for the running of fieldwork.
Resources that relate to a specific location (e.g. a virtual field course) appear on the FERC Map.
Other more generic or skills based resources can be discovered through the free text search.
