Virtual Worlds Survey: A group of graduate students are trying to assess the value of virtual worlds (i.e. PetraScape, Google Earth, etc.) in teaching geology. Take the survey below to share your opinion:

PetraScape v.1.00 is now available!

bulletDownload PetraScape v.1.00 here. Save it to your desktop. Once saved, double click on the icon to run the software. Be forewarned that last semester I had two reports of the beta version of PetraScape crashing student computers! Both of these happened on computers with less than 512MB RAM and 64MB of video RAM. Relatively high-end systems did not reported any problems. I highly recommend using the computers in room 313 on campus because PetraScape runs OK on them. If you use your own  computer, make sure you have at least 512MB RAM and a 3D accelerated video card running at least Direct X 7  with 64MB or more dedicated video RAM. Good luck.
