Oceanography is taken by 25% - 40% of our first year class, and it may be the only science course many of these students experience. As a large class, it has high visibility on campus and presents a vital challenge in efforts to provide each student with a dynamic and exciting learning experience. Funds are requested to support the creation of a set of interactive Macintosh computer based laboratory tutorial/simulations, a comprehensive help database, and an associated workbook. This material will be integrated with the existing graphics database and computer automated quiz serving and fading software, and it will be available on CD ROM and Internet to other colleges and universities teaching oceanography. Many of the ideas and approaches developed for this project also will be useful to others teaching large classes in other disciplines. The goal is to make this large class experience every bit as exciting and dynamic as that in smaller classes by creating material that will truly engage the students in the subject matter, supported by a class structure that encourages student responsibility and integrative thinking.

海洋学是我们一年级班的25％ - 40％的摄入量，这可能是许多这些学生经历的科学课程。作为一个大型班级，它在校园中具有很高的知名度，并在为每个学生提供动态而激动人心的学习经验方面构成了至关重要的挑战。要求资金支持创建一组基于Macintosh计算机的交互式实验室教程/仿真，全面帮助数据库和相关的工作簿。该材料将与现有的图形数据库和计算机自动测验服务和褪色软件集成，并将在CD ROM和Internet上向其他学院和大学提供海洋学的教学。为该项目开发的许多想法和方法也将对其他学科中的大型课程的其他人有用。目的是通过创建可以真正吸引学生参与主题的材料来使这种大型的班级体验像在较小的班级中一样令人兴奋和活跃，并受到鼓励学生责任和综合思维的班级结构的支持。
