The VOG group is acknowledged for their extensive work on virtual outcrops, as is the LIME team for developing the software and providing support through all VFTs. V3Geo is also acknowledged as a useful cloud-based platform to host many of the 3D models used within the VFTs, and the SAFARI consortium (https://safaridb.com/home, last access: 4 September 2021) is thanked for hosting the remaining virtual outcrops and the support. Harry Johnson, a demonstrator on the first Utah 2020 VFT, is thanked for his participation in the course and assistance in questionnaire design. Finally, we thank the editors John Hillier and Steven Whitmeyer and reviewers Glenn Dolphin, David M. Hodgson, Paul Nesbit and Ryan Petterson for their insight.239998692engQE GeologyGeologyEducationSupplementary DataQEJournal article10.5194/gc-5-227-202253
