What is the Astronomy Workshop?

The Astronomy Workshop is a collection of computer assisted learning tools developed under the direction of Doug Hamilton for use in undergraduate classes, for students interested in astronomy, and by the general public. A NASA EPO grant currently funds the development of student activities and instructor support materials. The web tools that have instructor support and student activities available are listed below:
