Description:
Three integrated products have been published to enhance teaching and learning soil science in the context of Earth system science: a printed textbook; an on-line version of the textbook; and a database of questions and answers for each section in the book. When a student answers a question, the site keeps track of the score and provides a short statement to justify the correct answer and a link to the sub-section in the textbook where detailed information is presented.
