Direct linkGarcia-Luque, E.; Ortega, T.; Forja, J. M.; Gomez-Parra, A. – Computers and Education, 2004
The teaching of Chemical Oceanography in the Faculty of Marine and Environmental Sciences of the University of Cadiz (Spain) has been improved since 1994 by the employment of a device for the laboratory simulation of estuarine mixing processes and the characterisation of the chemical behaviour of many substances that pass through an estuary. The…

Peer reviewedRogers, David F., Ed.; Smith, P. R., Ed. – Computers and Education, 1984
Hardware for computer-assisted learning is discussed in three papers. Two papers report on projects using computer graphics, one for teaching structural analysis to university students and the other to teach graph concepts at the secondary level. Guidelines for selecting microcomputers focus on analyzing applications and matching them with…
