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

来自多所大学的研究人员团队与非营利性地球科学学会美国地质研究所合作，提出了Geode项目的发展建议：(Geoscience Education In A Online Development Environment)。该项目为地球科学教学开发和评估基于网络的课程材料。该项目的目标将通过三个机制实现：1)汇编现有的地球科学网络教学资源，确定目前参与开发创新的网络学习材料的地球科学家；2)通过一系列讲习班和出版物，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.
