This proposal requests funds for establishing an Internet- bsed interactive learning system at Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The Department of Computer and Information Science (CIS) seeks to improve its breadth-first computer science curriculum by adequately supporting student learning of abstract theoretical materials through interactive learning, simulation and modeling opportunities. The goals are 1. to develop an interactive learning system called PACER (Personally Active Computing Exploration Resource) as an instructional supplement for the breadth-first introductory computing courses, and 2. to cultivate and support early interest in science through delivering PACER to K-12, college, and returning adult students. The PACER system meets learners" needs of repetition and visual simulation of complex ideas and offers them the ability to pursue education from remote locations and have access to resources never before available. The interactive design of PACER encourages self- directed learning. It also challenges and supports women, minorities, commuting adults and students with disabilities to purse the field of quantitative reasoning. The proposed interactive learning system will be developed as World Wide Web pages using Hypertext Markup Language. Unlike traditional Web pages, the PACER pages will support interactive learning sessions as well as simulations with animation capabilities. The hierarchical organizations of Web pages allows the PACER system to have learning modules that are inter linked, which in turn supports "demand-based" learning. This feature allows PACER to be an active learning tool for learners at all levels. The proposed PACER system will be available to students in our breadth-first introductory compute science courses, Computing 1 and 2, and students at New Augusta Middle School in the Metropolitan district of Pike Township, Indianapolis, Indiana

该提案要求提供资金，以便在印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校(IUPUI)建立基于互联网的互动学习系统。计算机与信息科学系试图通过互动学习、模拟和建模机会，充分支持学生学习抽象理论材料，从而改进其广度优先的计算机科学课程。目标是1。开发一个称为PACER(个人主动计算探索资源)的交互式学习系统，作为广度优先的计算机入门课程的教学补充，以及2.通过向K-12、大学和回国的成人学生提供PACER来培养和支持早期对科学的兴趣。PACER系统满足了学习者对复杂想法的重复和可视化模拟的需求，并为他们提供了从偏远地点继续学习的能力，并能够访问前所未有的资源。PACER的互动设计鼓励自主学习。它还挑战和支持妇女、少数群体、通勤成年人和残疾学生追求定量推理领域。拟议的互动学习系统将开发为使用超文本标记语言的万维网网页。与传统网页不同，PACER网页将支持交互式学习课程以及带有动画功能的模拟。网页的分层组织允许PACER系统具有相互链接的学习模块，这反过来又支持“基于需求的”学习。这一功能使PACER成为所有级别的学习者的积极学习工具。拟议的PACER系统将提供给我们广度优先的计算机科学入门课程计算机1和2的学生，以及印第安纳州印第安纳波利斯派克镇大都会区新奥古斯塔中学的学生
