SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Using Virtual Landscapes for Remote Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Using Virtual Landscapes for Remote Teaching\n\nTuesday\, June 
 30\, 2020\, 1 PM Eastern\n\nhttps://register.gotowebinar.com/reg
 ister/6837257389718161163\n\nAbout this Webinar:\n\nThe Virtual 
 Landscapes Project (https://www.see.leeds.ac.uk/virtual-land
 scapes/) uses the Unity 3D game engine to create screen base
 d simulations of real and imagined landscapes\, and interacti
 ve 3D block models of geologic and topographic maps.  It ai
 ms to enhance the training students receive in geological fi
 eld and map skills\, and to develop 3D visualization skills. 
 This webinar demonstrates how virtual landscapes can be used
  in the online geoscience classroom to recreate aspects of g
 eologic mapping training and augment understanding of how ro
 ck units are represented on geologic maps.\n\nIn addition to t
 he regular webinar looking at the uses of the Virtual Landsc
 apes\, the presenters will do a follow up hands-on session 
 two days later that will give participants a chance to explo
 re the different virtual landscapes and their potential uses
  for themselves in a mentored (virtual) setting.  This is a
  great opportunity to explore the Virtual Landscapes the way
  your students would experience them.\n\nThis webinar is offe
 red by the Geological Society of America and the National A
 ssociation of Geoscience Teachers. IRIS is a promotional pa
 rtner for this webinar series.\n\nPresenters:\n\nJacqueline Houg
 hton\, University of Leeds\n\nMark Helper\, University of Texas
