Planning Grant for the Use of Digital Libraries in Undergraduate Learning in Science

网络教学方法正从以教师为中心的范式向以用户为中心的范式转变。 网络、数字图书馆和数字媒体技术的进步使万维网成为支持这种主动学习的有效框架。 该项目将开发一套原型工具，流程和环境，为一系列问题提供初步答案，这些问题是科学，数学和工程教育数字图书馆的设计和实施的基础。 特别是，我们将开发，运行，收集数据，并分析一个以学生为中心的计算机科学课程。 这个项目建立在网络计算机科学技术报告库（NCSTRL）的经验和工作在老自治领大学开发NCSTRL+。

Instructional methods in academe are shifting from a teacher-centered paradigm to a user-centered paradigm. Advances in networking, digital libraries, and digital media technology are making the World Wide Web an effective framework for supporting this type of active learning. This project will develop a set of prototype tools, processes, and an environment to provide preliminary answers to a set of questions that underly the design and implementation of a digital library for science, mathematics, and engineering education. In particular, we will develop, run, collect data from, and analyze one student-centered computer science course. This project builds on experience with the Networked Computer Science Technical Report Library (NCSTRL) and work at Old Dominion University to develop NCSTRL+.
