Patterson, R.T., 1997. Assignment of World Wide Web Virtual Museum Projects in Undergraduate Geoscience Courses. Computers and Geosciences. 23: 581-585.
Internet World Wide Web virtual museum projects are viable alternatives to the traditional term paper in undergraduate geoscience courses. Hyper Text Markup Language is so easy to use that students are not overly distracted from adequately researching their topic, and are thus able to gather sufficient background data. In fact, the intelligent and creative integration of text and accompanying digital artifacts requires a level of understanding of the material that is not often achieved during the writing of traditional term papers. Most significantly, the students are motivated to create high-calibre documents by the knowledge that their projects will be exposed to a global audience.
