The evidence from reports from Learning Away and Outward Bound demonstrate the positive effect of residential outdoor centre experiences. However, a key concern is the transferability of the learning on such courses to everyday life. The mechanisms by which this learning may be augmented, cemented, limited or undone by the social interactions that take place after it remain opaque. A significant amount of teenagers' social interaction takes place through social media. This makes and investigation of how participants use their virtual networks to make sense of the residential outdoor experiences an important and timely area of study.This partnership is between world-leading academic expertise in outdoor learning and Outward Bound (OB), the world's largest provider of outdoor learning experiences. The three research questions are: What are young people's views on the absence of mobile phones and social media during their residential experience? To what degree are newly formed relationships at OB through social media use after courses? How does interaction on social media between participants after residential experiences impact on the transfer or maintenance of learning that occurred on the course?It is anticipated that a mixed methods approach will be used with data collection before, during and after residential courses. The research design and methods used will, of course, ultimately be driven by the student, in discussion with Outward Bound and the academic supervision team. Anticipated methods include a survey (online and paper, target response c1000) and focus group interviews (c16 groups of up to 6) with young people taking part in residential courses at up to four of OB's UK centres. Findings will be of interest to providers of outdoor residential experiences more widely. In addition, the study will contribute to our understanding of the affordances of social media for positive social interaction for young adults.

来自Learning Away和Outstanding Bound报告的证据证明了住宅户外中心体验的积极影响。然而，一个关键的问题是学习这些课程到日常生活的可转移性。这种学习的机制可能会被它之后发生的社会互动所增强，巩固，限制或撤销仍然是不透明的。青少年的大量社交活动是通过社交媒体进行的。这使得调查参与者如何使用他们的虚拟网络来理解住宅户外体验成为一个重要而及时的研究领域。这一合作关系是世界领先的户外学习学术专家和世界上最大的户外学习体验提供商Ouwellbound（OB）之间的合作。三个研究问题是：年轻人对居住期间没有移动的手机和社交媒体的看法是什么？在课程结束后，OB通过社交媒体使用新建立的关系达到了什么程度？如何在社交媒体上的互动参与者之间的住宅经验的影响转移或保持学习过程中发生的？预计在住宿课程之前、期间和之后将使用混合方法进行数据收集。当然，研究设计和使用的方法最终将由学生在与OutsourceBound和学术监督团队的讨论中驱动。预期的方法包括一项调查（在线和纸质，目标响应c1000）和焦点小组访谈（c16小组，最多6人），对象是在OB英国最多四个中心参加住宿课程的年轻人。调查结果将更广泛地吸引户外住宅体验提供商的兴趣。此外，这项研究将有助于我们理解社交媒体对年轻人积极社交互动的启示。
