Coursepacks
Norton Coursepacks offer a variety of activities and assessment materials for instructors who use Blackboard or other learning management systems. The Essentials of Geology Coursepack includes reading quizzes with visual questions, animations and simulations, streaming video that includes both the Narrative Art Videos and real world videos, Science & Society Features with multiple choice questions, Google Earth KMZ files, and flashcards.
Geotours Worksheet Quizzes - Coursepacks
The full coursepacks listed above contain the GEOTOURS WORKSHEETS Quizzes, based on the First Edition of the Geotours workbook. In July 2017, we released new quizzes that match the Second Edition of the Workbook. If you would like to update your coursepack, or you simply wish to only use the new GEOTOURS Worksheets rather than the full coursepack, you can download the Worksheets below and add them to your existing course.
