Woody Plants of the Southeastern United States ver. 1.0

Woody Plants of the Southeastern United States, A Field Botany Course on CD (WPSEUS) is a computer based visual training program designed to help users become experts in plant identification. It is the best way to learn plant identification, outside of taking a course in field botany. It will help you learn plant identification in a fraction of the time that it normally takes. The program does this by adapting active learning techniques from the cognitive psychology literature. WPSEUS uses active learning to promote holistic processing, the visual processing mode used by experts. Active learning has been shown to engage the brain areas associated with visual expertise, while passive learning does not. It functions like a field course in plant identification.

This product differs from version 2.0 in that it does not have the ability to run scripts, and is not easily configured for classroom use.
