Digilego was an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership on Digital Readiness co-funded by the European Union and four other academic and research institutions
Digilego still provides high quality easily transferable open educational resources (OER) for digital methods training in geography and environmental sciences at higher education institutions
Digilego created Open Educational Resources (OER) for digital and blended method training, available via an open and participatory platform
Digilego allows participatory contributions from higher education teachers and other institutions through a peer review platform for resources

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 We generated a mixture of OERs including videos, images, unpublished datasets, editable and fixed documentation covering lab methods from aspects of lab safety and set up to analytical aspects.

Digilego has ended

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.
