We developed fieldcasts, unique live broadcasts in which a student-led field investigation is carried out by tutors based in the field for the module S206/SXF206 Environmental Science. Key to the fieldcasts was a decision-making framework which, in conjunction with the Stadium Live platform, delivers authentic fieldwork that aimed to build student confidence and sense of belonging in field investigations. We used immediate and delayed student feedback to assess their efficacy.
