Clickstream #3

In addition to the expert testimony and policy information delivered in the 'Receive Your Charge' section, Campus Quest also delivers scientific information in the form of virtual field trips, topical tutorials, and simulated data collection and analysis in the 'Research the Issue' path(s).

Red arrows indicate a direct path from first screen of this stream (Step 1.2) to the screen indicated; blue arrows indicate links to second level materials (e.g., the link to the 'Land Survey' map in Step 1.2.3.1). Although the flow schematic below may be too large to fit -- in its entirety -- in your browser window, the depth of the material delivered on the Campus Quest CD, the dictates of readability that require us to devote a relatively large proportion of our screen real estate to captions, and the cognitive advantages of being able to visualize an entire content pathway in a single window have led us to accept the necessity of using the horizontal and vertical scrollbars to traverse the clickstream; we apologize for any inconvenience.

Clicking on a thumbnail image will open a full-size screenshot in a new window; simply click in the window's 'close' box when you are through to return to this screen. When you are finished exploring 'Clickstream #3,' simply click here to close this window.
