9752985 This project will result in a set of high-quality, interactive learning tools for organic chemistry. It has three main components: the designing and writing interactive materials for the EMOC website, developing tools for facilitating alternative methods of assessment, and evaluating existing and future materials as they become available on the EMOC website. The materials are being developed using hypertext markup language (HTML) with interactivity provided by common gateway interface (CGI) scripts written in the Perl scripting language. Database interface tools will be developed for the Oracle Database Server using the OraPerl add-on's to Perl. This combination of technologies provides flexibility while serving the intended audience through commonly available software interfaces. Evaluation will be highly interactive and consist of free- response student surveys as well as individual interviews and focus group meetings. Student attitude towards both the interactive technologies and the learning impact of the materials will be surveyed. The development of interactive database tools removes the 'bookkeeping' related with authentic, process-oriented assessment of large introductory undergraduate courses. This project advanced the development of learning environments for undergraduate organic chemistry courses involving large numbers of students.

9752985 该项目将产生一套高质量的有机化学互动学习工具。 它有三个主要组成部分：为EMOC网站设计和编写交互式材料，开发促进替代评估方法的工具，以及评估EMOC网站上现有和未来的材料。 这些材料是使用超文本标记语言编写的，用Perl脚本语言编写的通用网关接口脚本提供交互性。 将使用Perl的OraPerl附加组件为Oracle数据库服务器开发数据库接口工具。 这种技术组合提供了灵活性，同时通过常用的软件界面为目标受众提供服务。 评估将是高度互动的，包括自由回答的学生调查以及个人访谈和焦点小组会议。 将调查学生对互动技术和材料学习影响的态度。 交互式数据库工具的开发消除了与真实的、面向过程的大型本科入门课程评估相关的“簿记”。 该项目推进了涉及大量学生的本科有机化学课程的学习环境的开发。
