Virtual field trips will continue to play an important role in education. Selecting field trips that are relevant to the topic and will further the students' learning experience is a necessary guideline. Outlining tasks and specific accomplishments within the VFT will also help keep the student's focus and direction. Students will need to learn time management practices in addition to selecting proper navigational skills within a given site.
According to Weili Qiu and Tom Hubble (2002) who wrote The Advantages and Disadvantages of Virtual Field Trips in Geoscience Education, the continuation of VFTs and their effectiveness will depend upon these three questions:
1). What do students need to learn?
2). How will these students best learn the material?
3). What is an appropriate design for this VFT?
How would you answer these questions?
