Geology (42)This project is developing a digital carbonate rock petrography tutorial consisting of a library of 60 to 80 densely annotated virtual thin sections. Each virtual thin section is being constructed in a layered PDF file format. Layers consisting of images in plane-polarized light, cross-polarized light, scale grids, and mapped features are being constructed for each thin section. Collapsible text boxes (pop-up notes) are being added to each image for annotation of selected features of interest in the thin section. Annotations for the thin sections are being developed by a number of different individuals and differences of interpretation in thin sections are being included in the tutorial. The tutorial is building on experiences in multi-media curriculum development and assessment gained in a previous successful digital sandstone petrography tutorial and represents the next step in development of resources for teaching highly visual material in petrography.When complete, the material will be published, most likely by a non-profit society publisher (AAPG, SEPM, GSA, etc.). In addition, papers describing the tutorial will be submitted to appropriate journals. This material will be evaluated in the same manner as the previous successful sandstone petrography tutorial. An existing carbonate class with 80-100 students acted as a control group in the Fall of 2005. Subsequent offerings of the course will use the tutorial materials for three semesters at all participating schools. During this time faculty input will be sought concerning the material's accuracy, balance, and overall appropriateness for undergraduate students. Student understanding of carbonate petrography will be compared between the control group and subsequent semesters of students who have used the tutorial.

地质（42）该项目正在开发一个数字碳酸盐岩石岩石学教程，该教程由60至80个密集注释的虚拟薄部分组成。 每个虚拟薄部分都以分层的PDF文件格式构造。 由平面偏振光，交叉偏振光，比例网格和映射特征组成的图像构成，每个薄截面正在构建。 可折叠的文本框（弹出笔记）被添加到每个图像中，以注释薄部分中感兴趣的特征。 薄片的注释是由许多不同个体开发的，薄片中的解释差异已包括在教程中。 该教程基于多媒体课程开发和评估的经验，在先前成功的数字砂岩岩石学教程中获得，并代表了在核岩石学中教授高度视觉材料资源的下一步。完成材料后，该材料将发表，最有可能由非营利的社会出版商（AAPG，SEPM，SEPM，GSA等）发表。 此外，描述教程的论文将提交适当的期刊。 该材料的评估方式与以前的成功砂岩岩石学教程相同。 现有的具有80-100名学生的碳酸盐班在2005年秋天担任对照组。该课程的随后产品将在所有参与的学校中使用三个学期的教程材料。 在此期间，将寻求有关本科生的准确性，平衡和整体适当性的教师意见。 在对照组和随后使用本教程的学生的学期之间，将比较学生对碳酸盐岩石学的理解。
