Teaching the Use of Geological Equipment with a Microcomputer.

Mayer, Larry

Journal of Geological Education, v35 n5 p266-70 Nov 1987

Described is the use of a microcomputer and computer software to simulate the use of geological equipment. The technique uses pictures of the control panel (with switches and dials that can be activated) and a story board that can provide the simulation. A simple seismograph is used as an example of possible simulations. (RH)
