Abstract
Abstract A course developed to enhance students’ appreciation of local geomorphology through the construction of interpretive field trails is described. Students work in teams to produce a trail leaflet and designs for information boards. The emphasis on field‐based activity, student‐led participation and the notion of a target audience differs from traditional geomorphology courses. The extent to which these skills complement other geomorphological teaching is considered. Strategies for achieving a suitable balance between practical and theoretical material and for encouraging teamwork dynamics are identified as important components of course design.
