Workshop on the Use of Slides, Videos, and Emerging Computer Technologies in Undergraduate Aquatic Science Education

9550658美国湖沼学和海洋学学会韦勒提议举办一次关于使用新兴计算机技术和水生科学数据库作为本科教学资源的研讨会。这些工具使任何能够访问互联网和适当软件的学生，无论地理位置如何，都可以访问和操作一些目前通过互联网或光盘提供的特殊数据库。MOSAIC的交互能力将使学生能够提出自己的问题，并以他们自己选择的方式操纵数据集，而且规模是传统的学生实验室或实地实验所不可能的。这是向学生介绍科学方法的力量的一种令人兴奋和具有挑战性的新方式。讲习班将汇集教育工作者和数据库管理人员，在本科教学的背景下讨论新兴技术，获得一些现有数据库的实践经验，开发现有光盘和因特网上提供的水生科学信息的资源指南，并就如何最好地汇集或加强资源以用于交互式实践本科水生科学教育提出建议。还将提供用于本科水产科学教育的材料以及共享用于本科课程的幻灯片和视频材料的设施。研讨会将与协会年会(1995年6月11日至15日，内华达州里诺)同时举行。

9550658 Weiler The American Society of Limnology and Oceanography proposes to hold a workshop on the use of emerging computer technologies and aquatic science data bases as undergraduate teaching resources. These tools enable any student with access to the internet and the appropriate software, regardless of geographic location, to both access and manipulate some the exceptional data bases presently available through the Internet or on CD ROM. The interactive capability of Mosaic will enable students to ask their own questions and manipulate data sets in ways of their own choosing, and on a scale not possible with traditional student laboratory or field experiments. This is an exciting and challenging new way to introduce students to the power of the scientific method. The workshop will bring together educators and data base managers to discuss the emerging technologies in the context of undergraduate teaching, to obtain hands-on experience with some of the existing data bases, to develop a resource guide aquatic science information presently available on CD ROM and the Internet, and to develop recommendations on how best to assemble or enhance resources for use in interactive hands-on undergraduate aquatic science education. Facilities will also be provided for materials used for undergraduate aquatic science education and for sharing slide and video materials used for undergraduate courses. The workshop, to be held in conjunction with the Society's annual meeting (June 11- 15, 1995 Reno, Nevada).
