The GEODE Project: Development and Assessment of Web-Based Strategies for Earth Science Education Reform

来自几所大学的一组研究人员与美国地质研究所（一个非营利性地球科学协会）合作，提议开发GEODE项目：在线开发环境中的地球科学教育。本项目开发和评估用于地球科学教学的网络课程材料。该项目的目标将通过三个机制来实现：1)汇编目前可用的地球科学网络教学资源，并确定目前参与开发创新网络学习材料的地球科学家；2)通过一系列研讨会和出版物建立和传播当前最先进的网络学习资源；3)设计和实施一个用于测试和设计网络教学资源的网站。

A team of researchers from several universities have teamed with the American Geological Institute, a nonprofit Earth science society, to propose the development of the GEODE Project: (Geoscience Education in an Online Development Environment. This project develops and assesses Web-based curriculum materials for geoscience instruction. The goal of the project will be accomplished through three mechanisms: 1) compilation of currently available Earth science Web teaching resources and the identification of Earth scientists currently involved in developing innovative Web-based learning materials, 2) establishing and disseminating current, state-of-the art, Web-based learning resources through a series of workshops and publications, and 3) design and implementation of a Web site for the testing and design of Web-based teaching resources.
