[comp.sys.mac.misc] Macs and the Social Sciences

Here at Auburn we are developing a social sciences lab that will run off Mac
LCs. It is going to be a required class so it will have a very heavy load.
 If our enrollment stays around 21000 then we will have 700-1500 students a 
quarter. It will cover sociology, anthropology and geography in very general 
terms.   Our syllabus so far is 
                                Human Evolution
                                Biological to Cultural Adaptation
                                The move from hunting and gathering societies
                                               to a post industrial society
                                Man's environmental impact
                                Study one non west culture in depth
 
 This could change radically before the class is implemented. We currently 
have Earthquest and a customized HyperAtlas that we are going to try out.
Is anyone doing something similar on such a large scale? And if they are how?
If Anyone has any ideas or suggestions email me at
