Project Title: Using Digital Geospatial Data and Images in Geology

Abstract: The NAU team has been using HP Tablet PC's to provide a simple, interactive "discussion" between instructor and class using digital images and maps in a variety of geology courses. This addresses a major learning and teaching issue in Geology, which is the ability for introductory or non-science students to grasp complex issues early on such as topography or reading contour lines and seeing faults. Moving forward, the team will be the development of student "driven" graphical analysis modules and simulations which can be manipulated on a tablet PC.
