Mp. Bishop et al., INTEGRATION OF COMPUTER-TECHNOLOGY AND INTERACTIVE LEARNING IN GEOGRAPHIC EDUCATION, Journal of geography in higher education, 19(1), 1995, pp. 97-110
The rapid proliferation of computer technology is dramatically improvi
ng geographic instruction. However, as hardware and software technolog
ies related to computer networks, environmental modelling, animation,
multimedia and interactive learning become more available, educators m
ust familiarise themselves with computer networks, software resources
and digital data products. Technical proficiency is often critically l
inked to successful implementation, therefore we demonstrate how instr
uctors cart easily identify and access Internet resources using Mosaic
software. We specifically report on using software and digital data p
roducts in conservation of the environment, environmental remote sensi
ng, and geomorphology courses. These diverse and informative materials
can be used in a wide variety of pedagogical tasks.
