GrassView - the form and function of grass: a multimedia program

Abstract

GrassView - the form and function of grass is an interactive computer programme which uses video footage, narration, sound, computer based 3D animation, graphical displays of information, charts and quizzes to present a description of the morphology of a grass tiller and the implications for sward behaviour. The programme is designed for flexibility of use. In interactive mode it could be used for self-directive study, whereas in linear mode it could be video-projected as a presentation to a class of students or to an assembled group. It has been optimised to run under Windows 95 or NT 4.0 and is distributed as a CD. Keywords: computer program, grass form and function, grass morphology, interactive program, leaf extension,
