Assignments can range from simple multiple-choice tests to forecasting exercises and simulations. To use ClassNet, enter the URL, go to the main menu, and ask to create a class. Online help is available and e-mail is welcome. If you are interested in more innovative uses of the Web, the CSL group can also help you design Java simulations for instruction. An example from MtnSim, a meteorology simulation of adiabatic cooling, is shown below.
Students select a temperature and vapor pressure in the upper graph and click on the run button.
A leaf moves across the mountain and if conditions are right, a cloud forms and thunder is heard.
