We will be constructing a CD-ROM entitled A Multimedia Companion to Developmental Biology. This CD-ROM is planned to include those things that cannot be contained in a textbook: moving images of animal development (along with animations, voice-overs, and labeled photographs to assist the learner), research papers that enable each learner access to primary literature, interactive animations that enable one to understand complex experimental protocols, interactive programs that enable one to model development by changing the parameters of cell adhesion, migration, etc., interviews with researchers whose work helped frame the discipline, papers in the history of embryology, and position papers debating issues of ethical concern to contemporary developmental biologists (sex selection, gene therapy, etc.) These presentations will be connected to one another through three hierarchical indices and through hypertext. We plan to create different levels of complexity, from entry level (middle-school) through graduate levels, in several areas. While less advanced students can gain much from watching the videos and animations, more advanced students can now plan their own paths through the various presentations. We hope to develop Version 1.0 of this project over the sabbatical leave of the Principal Investigator and to sell the resulting disc "at cost." It will be multiplatform and could be used with any textbook in developmental biology or embryology (not necessarily the one authored by the P.I.) Version 1.0 would contain sections on fertilization, embryonic cleavage, gastrulation, cell specification, induction, developmental neurobiology, sex determination, metamorphosis, gametogenesis, and differential gene expression.

我们将制作一张名为《发育生物学多媒体伴侣》的光盘。这个CD-ROM计划包括那些不能包含在教科书中的东西：动物发育的动态图像（以及动画、画外音和辅助学习者的标记照片），使每个学习者能够访问原始文献的研究论文，使人们能够理解复杂实验协议的交互式动画，使人们能够通过改变细胞粘附、迁移等参数来模拟发育的交互式程序，对研究人员的采访，他们的工作有助于构建该学科。胚胎学历史的论文，以及讨论当代发育生物学家关注的伦理问题（性别选择，基因治疗等）的立场论文。这些报告将通过三个层次索引和超文本相互连接。我们计划在几个领域创建从入门级（中学）到研究生级的不同级别的复杂性。虽然水平较低的学生可以从观看视频和动画中获益良多，但水平较高的学生现在可以通过各种演示来规划自己的路径。我们希望在首席研究员休假期间开发这个项目的1.0版本，并“按成本价”出售生成的光盘。它将是多平台的，可以与任何发育生物学或胚胎学的教科书一起使用（不一定是P.I.编写的教科书）。1.0版本将包含受精、胚胎分裂、原肠胚形成、细胞规格、诱导、发育神经生物学、性别决定、变态、配子体发生和差异基因表达等章节。
