Effective Use of Computers in Teaching Structural Geology

Computers constitute an essential and powerful tool, which can be incorporated in myriad ways into all structural geology courses. Accordingly, this working group will focus on how computers can be used most effectively to help students learn structural geology. The group will seek out and encourage development of exemplary resources that use computers to accomplish what books, paper, and pencil can't accomplish effectively or efficiently.

We encourage you to contribute information about computer resources that you have found useful for teaching structural geology or simply provide support for teaching structural geology.
