Virtual Ground Water Academy (VGWA):
Ram's Horn Educational, LLC is producing an engaging educational software package, entitled, Virtual Ground Water Academy. VGWA is being developed as an alternative to college level textbooks, as an aid to enhance in-classroom lectures and exercises and as a reference tool for environmental professionals. VGWA emphasizes "hands-on" learning through computer game-like simulations, taking advantage of the latest advances in desktop and notebook computer power and speed. The software is being developed by Professor Gary A. Robbins, at the University of Connecticut. Professor Robbins is a 2001 recipient of the University of Connecticut Chancellor's Information Technology Award, the developer of "Expedited Site Assessment: The CD" and the author of over 100 articles, papers and presentations on a wide range of ground water-related topics.

What we need:
VGWA has an applied emphasis. It covers a wide range of subjects including:

• ground water contamination,
• ground water as an important resource,
• ground water in context of construction and natural hazards,
• conducting ground water-related investigations,
• implementing ground water remediation,
• field and laboratory water quality and hydraulic testing,
• computer assisted data analysis and visualization, and
• legal aspects associated with ground water usage and contamination.

Given the breath of subject matter covered in VGWA, there is a good deal of opportunity to showoff "tools" of the trade. To raise capital for the software development, we are offering to place products in VGWA in an exclusive but non-endorsed manner, as examples. Also, we are interested in using case histories, conducting photo shoots of equipment, developing animations that illustrate how equipment works, and conducting video interviews with experts.

What you get:
We are offering you an opportunity to cost effectively market skills, services, equipment and software in VGWA. Given the educational nature of the software, you will be marketing not only to current but also to future clients. Exposure in VGWA will enhance your product or service recognition and familiarity to those that make or will make purchasing decisions on environmental-related products. Any product shown will be labeled on screen as to manufacturer. The company will also receive an acknowledgment in the credits. Additional credit and a URL link to the company's web site will be given on a web site that supports the software. Interview material that is used will be accessible through streaming video from the support web site. Finally, you will be making a valuable contribution to the education of the next generation of environmental professionals.
