The Ice Age Learning Module
This module, created at the University of Minnesota (team of people including Kent Kirkby, Paul Morin, and Heidi Kamp) builds upon the information in Dr. W. Peltier University of Toronto ‘s publication cited below, to create a compact lesson about the processes and impact of the last major glaciation. The animations (visualizations), as regular QuickTime and Quicktime VR, provide a good learning pathway for visually oriented learners, with good text explanations as well.
The authors provide nice “self checks” for students, to prompt their understanding.
