Publication and Dissemination of a CD-ROM Formatted Multimedia Ethnographic Research Methods Instructional Package

这个项目将继续几年来一直在进行的工作。它将侧重于设计、制作和传播CD-ROM上的“独立”教学包。此工具旨在向本科生传授在逼真的学习环境中选择的民族志田野研究方法。它打算用作文化人类学实验室模块，用于文化人类学入门课程，或用于特殊项目。此外，学生和教师将能够访问一个网站，该网站将包含更多的人种学信息和关于人种学领域网站的多媒体材料。CD包将包括以下部分：(1)提供教程并将导航说明带到屏幕上的启动和启动机制；(2)关于如何使用该课件的教程；(3)关于该地区和社区的人种学背景信息，以及该包中各种实地练习中的实地研究方法的用途和意义的说明；(4)三个实地研究练习，以及相应的一套问题或作业，以评估学生所学到的内容。拟纳入光盘的材料已在两所大学进行了测试。这项工作在一定程度上得到了国家科学基金会本科生教育部的支持。卡洛斯博士计划使用一家商业出版商出版这些教材，供课堂使用。

This project will continue work that has been underway for several years. It will focus on designing, producing, and disseminating a "stand alone" instructional package on a CD ROM. This tool is designed to teach undergraduate students selected ethnographic field research methods in a life-like learning environment. It is intended to be used as a cultural anthropology laboratory section module for introductory cultural anthropology courses, or for special projects. Additionally, students and instructors will be able to visit a Website which will contain additional ethnographic information and multimedia materials on the ethnographic field site. The CD package will consist of the following components: (1) a start up and launch mechanism that provides a tutorial and brings navigation instructions to the screen, (2) a tutorial on how to use the courseware, (3) ethnographic background information on the region and communities, and descriptions of uses and meaning of the field research methods featured in the various field exercises in the package, (4) three field research exercises with corresponding sets of questions or assignments for evaluating what students have learned. Materials intended for inclusion in the CD ROM have been tested at two universities. The work has been conducted in part with support from the Division of Undergraduate Education of the National Science Foundation. The PI, Dr. Manual Carlos plans to publish these materials using a commercial publisher for classroom use.
