Mekong Quest

The Mekong Quest CD-ROM is a new AMRC product geared to high school education. The multimedia program is designed to provide an entry point to the geography of the Mekong River and the people, countries and ecosystems that are connected to it. It includes interactive material about Mekong issues and geographic concepts regarding Australia's neighbouring Asian countries, as well as the role of Australia in the Mekong Region. Based on the internationally renowned, inquiry-based learning format of 'webquest', Mekong Quest employs the CD-ROM format and video material to engage the students through visual literacy as well as the written word.
