Developing methodology resources
The digilego project focused on the development and provisionment of methodology resources (see the online portal) in geography and environmental science within the following domains.
Field
We instructed university teaching staff how to create and deliver virtual and blended field trips, produce high-quality virtual field trips, and produced a series of building blocks, manuals and how-to guides that will facilitate the creation of targeted resources by university teaching staff.
Quantitative
Spatial and temporal analysis, principles of sampling, properties of data and measurement, presentation of data via graphs, plots and maps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and a wide range of terminology and concepts related to surveying, mapping, data handling, descriptive and inferential statistics and critical appraisal of quantitative results.
Qualitative
Methods resources cover standard social science methods such as interviews, focus groups, archive methods, textual analysis, visual representations, and central themes related to research contexts such as decolonizing the curriculum, positionality, and research ethics.
Lab
Lab methodology resources facilitate analysis training of diverse topics, such as: water and sediment, stereoscopic aerial photography, and field surveying and data gathering. We generated a mixture of OERs including videos, images, unpublished datasets, editable and fixed documentation covering lab methods from aspects of lab safety and set up to analytical aspects.

Workshop: Creating urban virtual fieldtrip resources in Berlin, Germany
Digilego is hosting its second virtual field course development workshop in Berlin, Germany from August 29th to Sept. 2nd 2022. The aim is to develop a series of open educational resources with a focus on urban geographic and environmental themes that each have use and value in their own right but also as a larger-scale resources that can be used as a field session in an entirely online capacity. Participants will learn how to create virtual field trips and resources.

Digilego ran from June 2021 to May 2023. Aside from LTT events (i.e. training) the persistent and still active output is the platform where you can view and contribute geography methods teaching resources.
