What does sustainable development in northern Malawi look like?
The new VR teaching resources we’ve developed at the University of Worcester will immerse students in the inter-related environmental and development issues facing this area, and help develop their teamwork and problem-solving skills. They will encounter rural and urban environments, identify climate resilient management practices, and interrogate the landscape for indicators of environmental change. They can also explore the nature of inequality and development and livelihood sustainability with the local community, and learn how conservation agriculture is contributing to nature-based solutions for catchment and wetland (dambo) management.

Students can explore landscapes by following virtual tours that include high resolution 360° video, 360° panoramas, 2D video and photos, and can carry out virtual interviews with real community members.
We’ll use these resources as part of our innovative and engaging teaching on our BSc Geography degree course.
We’re also offering VR activities for schools (on campus or at school) to support A level Geography classes. A Level curricula topics include:
• AQA: Ecosystems under stress; Changing Places; Population and the Environment; Resource Security
• OCR: Climate Change; Future of Food
• Edexcel: Global Development and Connections; The Water Cycle and Water Insecurity

The video is one of many recorded as part of a Learning and Teaching funded project to create a virtual field trip to Malawi for University of Worcester undergraduate students taking degrees in Geography. The project is being led by Alan Dixon with additional virtual fieldwork resources being created by Des McDougall. Errol Dixon also provided excellent assistance in the field.
