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.

地质学（42）本项目正在开发一个数字化碳酸盐岩岩相学教程，其中包括一个由60至80个密集注释的虚拟薄片组成的图书馆。 每一个虚拟薄部分都是以分层PDF文件格式构建的。 由平面偏振光、交叉偏振光、比例网格和映射特征中的图像组成的层正在为每个薄切片构建。 可折叠的文本框（弹出注释）被添加到每个图像中，用于注释薄切片中所选的感兴趣特征。 薄切片的注释由许多不同的人开发，薄切片的解释差异也包括在教程中。 该教程是建立在多媒体课程开发和评估的经验，在以前成功的数字砂岩岩相学教程，并代表了在岩相学教学高度可视化材料的资源开发的下一步。完成后，该材料将被出版，最有可能由一个非营利性的社会出版商（AAPG，SEPM，GSA等）。 此外，将向适当的期刊提交介绍教程的论文。 该材料将以与先前成功的砂岩岩相学教程相同的方式进行评估。 2005年秋季，一个现有80-100名学生的碳酸盐班作为对照组。 该课程的后续课程将在所有参与学校使用三个学期的辅导材料。 在此期间，教师输入将寻求有关材料的准确性，平衡性和本科生的整体适当性。 学生对碳酸盐岩的理解将在控制组和使用本教程的学生的后续学期之间进行比较。
