Project TEME: A Windows for Workgroups Peer-to-Peer Network for Hands-On Science Education in a Multimedia Simulation Laboratory

为了满足不同学生群体的需求，格林菲尔德社区学院积极推动创新和以体验为基础的互动教育。项目TEME（全封闭模块化环境）是人类生态学课程的体验核心，对所有在校学生开放。TEME项目是一个经过验证的学习经验，自1980年以来，它以模拟太空探索任务作为“宇宙飞船地球”的隐喻，并在1992年引入了深海潜水任务来探索海洋。虽然任务场景各不相同，但每个任务都旨在向学生介绍基本的生态原理，有效的团队过程以及科学应用技术来研究和解决生态问题。该提案将为工作组开发一个WINDOWS多媒体局域网，以增强TEME体验的真实性，超越当前8位独立技术的能力。升级到多媒体个人电脑的综合网络，作为允许访问全球资源的广域网（internet）的一部分，使学生能够查看可用于解决生态问题的数据和资源的范围，并提供项目与主要大学、政府机构、研究机构和信息服务之间的直接通信。有了一个更强大和扩展的网络系统，TEME课程具有更大的可移植性，可以作为动手科学教育的全国模式。

9451410 LaRose To meet the needs of its diverse student population Greenfield Community College actively promotes innovative and experience-based interactive education. Project TEME (Totally Enclosed Modular Environments), the experiential core of the Human Ecology curriculum, is available to all students attending the college. Project TEME, is a proven learning experience that has featured a simulated space exploration mission as a metaphor for "Spaceship Earth" since 1980, and introduced a deep sea submersible mission to explore the oceans in 1992. While mission scenarios vary, each mission is designed to introduce students to basic ecological principles, effective group process, and the scientific applications of technology to study and solve ecological problems. This proposal will develop a WINDOWS for Workgroups multimedia LAN to enhance the authenticity of the TEME experience beyond the capabilities of the current 8- bit stand-alone technology. Upgrading to an integrated network of multimedia PCs as part of a wider area network allowing for access to global resources (INTER NET) enables students to view the scope of data and resources available to solve ecological problems, and provides direct communication between the project and major universities, government agencies, research institutions and information services. With a more powerful and expanded networking system, the TEME curriculum has the potential for greater transportability serving as a national model for hands-on science education.
