Investigating Lake
Iluka is a full colour interactive
multimedia package that will develop investigation
and problem solving skills. It uses a variety of
investigation techniques, on screen video segments
using Apple's QuickTimeTM system extension,
graphics and sound to simulate a lake environment.
It is targeted at the high school level being
applicable to Biology and Geography as well as
Ecology studies.
Students
can investigate the various ecosystems of the lake,
make physical, chemical and biological
measurements, collect information about individual
animal and plant species and view footage of news
reports and expert and local views on a variety of
issues.
A
built-in "note book" allows students to take notes
on the content and save to a floppy disk for later
editing as part of a report. Students must use the
measuring tools, consult experts and collect news
reports to find solutions to the problems posed.
Recorded sound and still graphics reinforce the
realism.

Lake
Iluka
The designers of this multi-award winner know
exactly what interactive multimedia is all about.
Set on a fictitious lake, the students need to
collect information to solve problems. Investigate
the mangroves,estuaries, open lake or urban area.
Use the on-screen scientific instruments, access
text and make decisions. A great one for senior
secondary Science and Geography classes.
