Design and assessment of an interactive digital tutorial for undergraduate-level sandstone petrology
|
ABSTRACT
A digital interactive tutorial has been created to provide undergraduates a 'virtual microscope' resource for learning sandstone petrology. The tutorial does not replace hands-on laboratory experiences with the petrographic microscope, but lends efficiency and breadth to the learning process. Students are able to obtain practice with identification of a wide array of sandstone components outside of the laboratory and independently of the instructor.
The efficacy of traditional petrography instruction versus instruction supplemented by the tutorial was assessed in two semesters of GEO ...
