Google Earth as a resource for remote teaching: an application to crime scene investigation

Covid-19 has posed a number of challenges for higher education institutions at all levels, especially for programmes that are heavily focused on practical work.I am part of a team that teaches a forensic science course which has many major practical elements that are essential to the students' skill development and understanding. The last 18 months have really encouraged thinking outside the box in terms of how to transition this practical face to face teaching into remote learning, whilst still meeting the course requirements and meeting the learning objectives set.
