| The Web - how can you use it in your teaching? |
| Course Material | |
| virtual field trips | Mainly in the area of geography, geology and ecology, virtual trips access locations without leaving
the laboratory/computer room.
Some geological field trips can be found at: A Geologist's Lifetime Field List at http://www.uc.edu/geology/geologylist/index.html A virtual field trip with a difference can be found at http://www.madsci.org/~lynn/VH/ (It is A Guided Tour of the Visible Human) | simulations | These include on-line simulations, demonstrations, virtual laboratories and investigations. Play the role of a microbiologist in The Virtual Bacterial ID Lab from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at http://www.hhmi.org/grants/lectures/biointeractive/vlab99/. |
applets | An applet is a program that is designed to run within another program such as an Internet browser - Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. The advantage of applets is that they will run on both Macintosh and Windows hardware.
There are over 20 easily understandable, user friendly educational applets at Interactive Physics and Math with Java at http://www.physics.otago.ac.nz/Physics100/simulations/Gamelan/index.html |
| on-line tests | Psychology is well catered for with courseware such as:Welcome to the Landrigan Page! Visual Illusions Gallery at http://dragon.uml.edu/psych/land1.html | Source of up to date information |

A number of on-line journals are available from http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/HUM-MOLGEN/journals.html Journals include Cell, Genetics and Genes and Development. Full articles of the current issue are available. The Internet Journal of Chemistry (the electronic journal for chemists) is available at http://www.ijc.com/ijc.register.html Registration is encouraged but not essential. Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research - full articles available at http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/jair/home.html | virtual conferences | These include Virtual CUBE 97 (Australian Mirror site - http://science.uniserve.edu.au/mirror/vCUBE97/), Virtual CUBE 98 at http://www.liv.ac.uk/ctibiol/cube98/html/vcube.html and EdTech'98 and ACEC'98 Virtual Conference at http://cleo.murdoch.edu.au/gen/aset/confs/edtech98/vconf/ | software information | On-line databases of teaching and research software can be found at the UniServe Science web site and the web sites of the various CTI Centres. These databases also contain independent reviews of selected pieces of software.
Distributors such as MicroInfo Ltd maintain an on-line catalog at http://www.microinfo.co.uk/ PsycLink at http://www2.plattsburgh.edu/psyclink/menuscreens/psyres.html has psychology software categorised under relevant headings (e.g. Sensation and Perception, Cognition). |
| virtual library | The Virtual Library at http://vlib.org/ covers many disciplines including science, engineering, humanities and social sciences with links to on-line resources, newsgroups, journals and conferences. | revision, supplementary and extension material | on-line course material | Courses resources (Geosciences) set up by John Butler at the University of Houston http://www.uh.edu/~jbutler/anon/anon_resources.html | information sites | Internet Mental Health at http://www.mentalhealth.com/ covers a wide range of disorders. |
