Kim Kastens, D. Kaplan, K. Christie-Blick 2001 Journal of Geoscience Education v49 n3 p249-266

These improvements include replacement of text-based instructions with a voiceover demo, development of lessons to overcome common misconceptions, development of lessons to model successful map-using strategies, additional assessment tools for teachers, and more and prompter feedback for students.
