The Virtual Courseware Project produces interactive, online simulations for the life science laboratory or for earth science field studies. The activities are designed to enhance an existing curriculum and include online assessments. They can be used by students ranging from middle school, high school, or college classrooms.

Geology Labs On-Line was initiated in 1999 to develop Web-based activities which enhance the learning and teaching of earth science from middle school through college classrooms.

With these activities, students complete a sequence of tasks that require observation, measurement, and data analysis. Upon successful completion, they receive a personalized certificate.
