Project GeoSim

Project GeoSim is a joint research project of the Departments of Computer Science and Geography at Virginia Tech. The site contains learning modules including Mental Maps, a geography quiz program; Sense of Place, which teaches about the characteristics of US counties and states; Human Population, a multimedia tutorial program; and others. Each contains a tutorial program to introduce terms and concepts of the module as well as the downloadable program to carry out the exercises. The mental maps activity, for example, allows students to test their knowledge about the location of cities and can even be configured to ask questions about population, average summer and winter temperatures, and more. This interesting educational site provides some unique offerings that educators should find worthwhile.
