Contribute a Computer Resource

Computers constitute essential and powerful tools that can be incorporated in myriad ways into all structural geology courses. We are seeking exemplary resources that use computers to accomplish what books, paper, and pencil can't accomplish effectively or efficiently.

We invite you to contribute information about computer resources that you have found useful for teaching structural geology or simply provide support for teaching structural geology.

If you wish to contribute a specific activity/assignment using the computer resource you have contributed, please make your contribution below and then visit Activities and Assignments to contribute the activity/assignment.

View Computer Resource Collection to see what is already in the collection. Please also visit our working group web page.
