9760671 This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project from Intellipro, Inc. will exploit Web technologies to respond to the national need for improved quality, accessibility, and efficiency of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) instruction at all levels. The challenge is to combine the interactive capabilities of simulation with collaborative possibilities of the Web to create collaborative simulation, software to facilitate development and delivery of highly interactive, cognitively motivating, and socially enriched content that will substantially improve SMET teaching and learning in traditional and distance learning settings. The proposed technology will address several initiatives in SMET instruction--creation of quality content, accommodation of learning styles, and inclusion of underrepresented students. The researchers envision powerful and pedagogically scalable software to allow faculty, publishers, and others to create engaging content-providing real-world experiences and allowing students to interact, alone or with others, with the material-that will permit implementation of advanced learning strategies. To determine feasibility, Intellipro will define a pedagogically appropriate software design; evaluate technology available to implement the design; and prototype critical elements of the design; and field-test the prototype. A professional team with expertise in simulation, instructional design, and SMET content develop will collaborate on the research with a stellar group of engineering educators. If the proposed research meets its goals, the resulting software and support materials will have significant commercial possibilities, providing a platform for the development and delivery of interactive content at all educational levels, and in a variety of settings. It has the potential to have a significant impact on how group learning is accomplished.

这个来自Intellipro公司的小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将利用网络技术来满足国家对各级科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）教学质量、可及性和效率的提高需求。挑战在于将模拟的交互能力与网络的协作可能性结合起来，创建协作模拟和软件，以促进开发和交付高度交互、认知激励和社会丰富的内容，这些内容将大大改善传统和远程学习环境中的SMET教学。拟议的技术将解决SMET教学中的几个倡议——创造高质量的内容，适应学习风格，以及包容代表性不足的学生。研究人员设想了一种强大的、教学上可扩展的软件，允许教师、出版商和其他人创建引人入胜的内容——提供真实世界的体验，并允许学生单独或与他人互动，使用这些材料——这将允许实施高级学习策略。为了确定可行性，Intellipro将定义适合教学的软件设计；评估可用于实施设计的技术；并对设计中的关键元素进行原型化；实地测试原型。一个在模拟、教学设计和SMET内容开发方面具有专业知识的专业团队将与一群优秀的工程教育工作者合作进行研究。如果所提议的研究达到其目标，所产生的软件和支持材料将具有重大的商业可能性，为所有教育水平和各种设置的交互式内容的开发和交付提供平台。它有可能对如何完成小组学习产生重大影响。
