The Geology of National Parks Collection is being developed as part of Geology of National Parks: Spreadsheets, Quantitative Literacy, and Natural Resources (NSF DUE-0836566), a three-year, Phase-1 CCLI project that started January 2009.
The purpose of the project is to develop a resource of SSAC modules for the introductory geology course, Geology of National Parks, at the University of South Florida. Selected modules are being rotated into the course's series of weekly student activities. The intent is twofold: (1) to bolster the quantitative literacy dimension of the course, and (2) to bring in more environmental geology by aligning the course with the NPS Natural Resources Challenge.
