This article reflects on the author’s experience of developing a standalone geographies of sport module that is taught using an active blended learning (ABL) approach. The article argues that an ABL pedagogy is an effective way of teaching meaningful sports geography to undergraduate students. It discusses how the approach allows a diverse range of relevant topics to be included, incorporating both “human” and “physical” geographies, and enables a personalised approach to learning. Teaching the geographies of sport provides students with opportunity to cement and enhance their understanding of fundamental geographical concepts whilst applying them to sports case studies that can be adapted to the interests of the student cohort. That is not to say that teaching of sports geographies comes without challenges, and this article reflects on some of those encountered. Most significantly, how to ensure that the module content is appropriate for final-year undergraduates as the body of dedicated geographical literature on sport is still comparatively limited.

本文反映了作者开发独立的体育地理模块的经验，该模块使用主动混合学习(ABL)方法进行教学。本文认为ABL教学法是对大学生进行有意义的体育地理教学的有效途径。它讨论了该方法如何允许包括各种相关主题，结合“人文”和“自然”地理，并实现个性化的学习方法。教授体育地理学为学生提供了巩固和加强他们对基本地理概念的理解的机会，同时将其应用于体育案例研究，可以适应学生群体的兴趣。这并不是说体育地理教学没有挑战，本文就遇到的一些挑战进行了反思。最重要的是，作为体育地理文献的主体，如何确保模块内容适合应届本科生，目前还比较有限。

There is a growing body of evidence that Open Educational Resources (OERs) are a viable alternative to traditional “for cost” teaching materials. This paper provides a reflection on the process and outcomes of developing and implementing OER within an introduction Human-Environment Geography lecture-laboratory course. Evidence is further provided in support of improvements to the academic performance and completion rates of students enrolled in the course after the implementation of OERs over a period of 4–6 years. Results of the study indicate students’ academic performance significantly increased once OERs were incorporated into the classroom compared to the use of traditional materials purchased by the students. The rate of student withdrawal also was significantly less once OERs were implemented. The improvements to students’ academic performance and retention occurred despite OER being only used in the laboratory component of the course, suggesting that even a partial implementation of OERs can still have significant positive effects. The use of OERs can be considered as a legitimate option to increasing retention and student academic success in the Geography classroom.

越来越多的证据表明，开放教育资源(OERs)是传统“收费”教材的可行替代方案。本文对“人-环境地理学导论”课程开发和实施开放式教育资源的过程和成果进行了反思。进一步提供了证据，支持在实施开放式教育课程后4-6年期间，学习该课程的学生的学习成绩和完成率得到改善。研究结果表明，与使用学生购买的传统材料相比，将OERs纳入课堂后，学生的学习成绩显著提高。实施OERs后，学生退学率也显著降低。尽管OER只在课程的实验部分使用，但学生的学习成绩和保留率仍然有所提高，这表明即使部分实施OER仍然可以产生显着的积极影响。开放教育资源的使用可以被认为是一个合理的选择，以提高地理课堂的保留率和学生的学术成就。
