The design and application of geography experimental simulation platform

A teaching method of “virtual” experimental scene based on virtual simulation platform is developed with the aim to solve the existing problems in geographical experimental teaching. The paper discussed some issues on how to build a practice teaching technology system with geographical scene simulation that integrating geographical space information collection, application and simulation. Some examples were given to describe the main construction process of the platform. The application of the platform will provide a new practice teaching pattern in which “experiment - theory sublimation - practice” for geographical experimental teaching research is used to promote students' abilities on laboratory test and field practice, comprehensive and innovative experiment.
