Introduction of Modern Instrumentation in the First Two Years of Chemistry: The Iowa Chemistry Curriculum Network (IACCN)

9455646 Greenbowe这个项目的目标是研究，开发，并纳入三个模块化的教学资源，现代仪器在大学化学的头两年。这些单元将包含面向仪器的组成部分，涉及当前现实世界的主题、小组项目、更新的教学方法、学生学习评估、强调概念思维、交互式多媒体和探索性实验室实验。开发交互式多媒体计算机程序，模拟FT-IR和FT-NMR光谱仪的操作，从样品处理到数据采集和处理，将与Engineering Animation，Inc.合作开发。 位于圣地亚哥的加州大学已经开发了一种紫外-可见光多媒体模拟。一个由爱荷华州的15所社区学院、3所公立大学和4所私立学院组成的联盟将通过爱荷华州光纤通信网络的远程视频会议和年度夏季研讨会，就该项目的各个方面进行合作。该项目将使整个爱荷华州的学生和教师能够通过计算机模拟轻松使用现代仪器（UV-VIS，FT-IR和FT-NMR）。爱荷华州州立大学将作为一个信息交换所，运行参与机构的学生提交的实际化学样品。样品将在爱荷华州州立大学的仪器上运行，光谱将通过互联网（通过匿名ftp、万维网或电子邮件）以数字文件或图形图像的形式提供给社区学院和私立学院的学生和教师。 该项目将为爱荷华州的四年制院校和所有社区学院提供新的课程改进和发展。

9455646 Greenbowe The objectives of this project are to research, develop, and incorporate three modular instructional resources on modern instrumentation in the first two years of college chemistry. The modules will contain instrumentation-oriented components dealing with current real-world topics, group projects, updated teaching methods, student learning assessments, emphasis on conceptual thinking interactive multimedia and exploratory laboratory experiments. Development of interactive, multimedia computer programs that simulate the operations of the FT-IR, and FT-NMR spectrometers, from sample handling to data acquisition and work-up will be developed in collaboration with Engineering Animation, Inc. A UV-VIS multimedia simulation has already been developed at the University of California at San Diego. A consortium of Iowa's 15 community colleges, three public universities, and four private colleges will collaborate on all aspects of the project through long-distance video conferences on Iowa's fiber-optics communication network and at annual summer workshops. This project will enable students and faculty in the entire state of Iowa to have facile access to modern instrumentation (UV-VIS, FT-IR and FT- NMR) via computer simulations. Iowa State university will serve as a clearing house for running actual chemical samples submitted by students of the participating institutions. The samples will be run on instruments at Iowa State University, and the spectra will be made available to the students and faculty from the community colleges and private colleges over the internet (via anon ftp,the world wide web, or by e-mail) as digital files or graphic images. This project will provide new curriculum enhancements and developments to four-year institutions and all community colleges in the state of Iowa.
