Öz

The aim of this study is to form a sample model of landslides and floods, which have direct or indirect effects on human life, in geography courses by using teaching techniques with computer support.

In this CD, there are definitions, information, simulations of landslide types and floods with the help of a computer support. In order to present landslides and floods with the help of a computer, an education CD was first prepared. In this CD, there are definitions, information, simulations of landslide types, tables and figures about the subject, films and photographs from the landslides and floods happening in Çayeli and Güneysu, Rize on July 23, 2002 and Gündoğdu, Rize, on August 26, 2010.
