This proposal requests equipment that will enable the Department of Geological Sciences at University of California, Santa Barbara to provide advanced laboratory and lecture media capability of its students. Over the years, the UCSB geology faculty have shown strong interest in developing and using computers and advanced visual presentation media to teach undergraduate courses. Presently we are, with both University and Apple Corp. funding, creating a videodisc (consisting of slides, animations, and video clips) for use in our Oceanography course, an extensive interactive tutorial for Optical Mineralogy and Crystallography, and an interactive tutorial on the evolution of the North American continent from Phanerazoic to the present. The interactive tutorials are demonstration projects being implemented with SuperCard on color Macintosh computers. The potential use for this kind of material is enormous. We want to create an environment where students can browse through a side range of geological information in support of their laboratory and coursework, access tutorials of geological topics, and communicate with their professors through electronic mail over a network. We hope that this will also have the affectof softening subject matter boundaries, integrating diverse branches of the geological sciences. A high speed network connected to computers in the laboratories, combined with presentation equipment, will allow the students and lecturers to have access to a much wider range of instructional material than they would otherwise. All or the material would also be available to students outside of the laboratory. We are requesting equipment for use in student labs, department network support for availability of the material department and campus.wide,equipment in support of lecturing (using the computer's display and animation capability), and computers for faculty use in lecture, laboratory, and tutorial materials preparation.

该建议要求设备，以使加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的地质科学系能够提供其学生的高级实验室和演讲媒体能力。多年来，UCSB地质教师对开发和使用计算机和高级视觉演示媒体的教学本科课程表现出强烈的兴趣。目前，我们在University和Apple Corp.资金中都创建了一个视频板（由幻灯片，动画和视频片段组成），用于我们的海洋学课程，用于光学矿物学和晶体学的广泛互动教程，以及关于北美大陆从Phanerazoic到现在的北美大陆演化的互动教程。交互式教程是通过颜色Macintosh计算机上的超级卡来实施的演示项目。这种材料的潜在用途是巨大的。我们想创建一个环境，学生可以在其中浏览一系列地质信息，以支持其实验室和课程，访问地质主题的教程，并通过网络通过电子邮件与教授进行沟通。我们希望这也将具有软化主题界限的影响，从而整合了地质科学的各种分支。连接到实验室中的计算机的高速网络与演示设备相结合，将使学生和讲师能够获得比其他材料更广泛的教学材料。所有或这些材料也将适用于实验室以外的学生。我们要求设备用于学生实验室，部门网络支持材料部门和校园的可用性。在范围内，支持讲课的设备（使用计算机的显示和动画功能）以及用于教职员工在讲座，实验室和教程材料准备中的计算机。
