What is this website?
FieldPress.ca is a demonstration website for displaying and testing the capabilities of the FieldPress plugin for WordPress. The FieldPress plugin allows instructors to create and manage field trips for their students. FieldPress is an open educational resource (OER) that was created by Open Geography at the University of British Columbia in Canada.
For student users
If you would like to experience the site as a student user, please following these easy three steps:
- Sign up for an account here: http://fieldpress.ca/fields-signup/
- Confirm your account. After signing up you should get an email confirmation. Make sure to check your spam folder.
- Sign up for any of our demo field trips here: http://fieldpress.ca/fields/
For instructors
Being an instructor requires access to the administrator role. At this time we are not providing public instructor/administrator access to our demo site. However, we are offering access to the beta version of the plugin and developing a user manual.
Prepackaged beta plugin:

If you would like to learn more about managing field trips and how to install the plugin on your own installation of WordPress you can use the above links. This plugin will work only on your own installation of WordPress not on blogs maintained on WordPress.com. Once we move out of beta, our plugin will be available in the WordPress plugin repository.
Note: Our homepage uses the Slider Revolution plugin, which is not part of the FieldPress package as you are free to design your own homepage on your website.
