Short summary
This GC Insights presents a virtual fieldwork module integrating 360 videos and inquiry-based learning to support geoscience education at the upper secondary level. The design enables students to engage in scientific practices, including data collection, interpretation, and hypothesis formation. The paper discusses how virtual environments can facilitate an exploratory learning and foster deeper conceptual understanding, when designed carefully as an inquiry lesson.
