                                   A new approach to Astronomy is taken by SECAP BBS of the Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. The Computer Astronomy Course 1992 aims to make astronomy and its related sciences more attractive to students and teachers.
Participants will profit from this unique course regardless if they are beginners or advanced in astronomy. However this course is not designed to compliment or replace instructions in undergraduate level of studies in astronomy or astrophysics.
                                    
                                   There will be lectures about countless subjects in this field combined with very interesting and new learning aids such as computer slide shows (GIF-TIFF etc.), computer animated sequences (Multimedia), astro computer programs for the IBM or MAC, video tapes from NASA and AIAA,a comprehensive library related to astronomy, aeronautica and astronautics, a monthly newsletter explaining the sky of the month for students with or without optical aid, and " You Question - We ans
wer!" a dialogue betweenn students and lecturer to create a personal contact.
Furthermore there will be practical workshops for teachers and students available on request.
                                    
                                   The lectures are hosted by Dr. Gordon Land, AIAA, senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Dr. Land is in steady worldwide contact with all leading research instituts, organisations, universities, and observatories. He is also a science consultant to the international television program "Beyond 2000" screened in over 80 countries.                                     
                                   For this course is no expirience in astronomy necessary. The material is related to the southern or nothern hemisphere.
                                    
                                   Students can enrol at any time after the 1. September 1992. Updates of the course are issued on a weekly base and can be downloaded from the BBS.
