“…FTs are considered experiential and active learning that follows a student-centered learning approach [7]. FTs require careful planning in terms of structure, learning materials, and teaching method; in particular, students should also be briefed [3,8].…”

360° models are a form of virtual reality (VR) that allow the viewer to view and explore a photorealistic object from multiple locations within the model. Hence, 360° models are an option to perform virtual field trips (VFT) independent of time and location. Thanks to recent technical progress, 360° models are creatable with little effort. Due to their characteristics of visualization and explorability, 360° models appear as excellent learning tools, especially when additional didactic features, such as annotations, are used. The subject of this explorative field study is a 360° model of a waterworks that has been annotated for learning purposes. Data are collected from a total of 55 learners in four cohorts from study programs in environmental engineering and urban studies using a questionnaire that included standardized measurement instruments on motivation, emotion, and usability. Furthermore, the eight learners of cohort 1 are surveyed using semi-structured interviews on learning, operation and features of the 360° model. Overall, a very positive view on learning suitability of 360° models in VFTs is revealed. In addition, further potential for development of the 360° model could be identified. The results indicate that VTFs based on 360° models might be valuable learning tools, because of their applicability without great effort on the part of either the lecturers or the students. VFTs based on 360° models might serve as a supplement to conventional learning activities or in self-directed learning activities.

“…In the first stage, several criteria were initially applied to exclude studies, including those less than three pages in length, not written in English, articles that are not related to RFTs and VFTs. After this stage of the screening, 37 articles ([1], [2], [3] [8], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [26], [27], [28], [29], [37], [39], [42], [44], [45], [49], [50], [51], [52], [55], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], [63], [67], [68], [69]) were selected for full text assessment. The second stage of the screening process involved reading title, keywords, and abstract to identify studies that are relevant to RFTs and VFTs that had been peer reviewed in an educational context.…”

As a result of exposure to multiple high-quality or artsbased field trips, students are able to make better academic progress, improve their social and emotional well-being, as well as engage more in school activities (Florick et al,[16]).…”
