The proposed project focuses on disseminating information to the members of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) on newly developed multimedia courseware for teaching undergraduates various key aspects of social scientific research in anthropology. The session will feature the on-screen presentation of imaginative, visually engaging, and classroom tested applications of Internet, WEB, and CD-ROM based materials and computer facilitated approaches to the teaching of anthropology.The materials include interactive multimedia packaged information on (1) ethnographic field research methods; (2) laboratory analysis of human physical diversity in physical anthropology, (3) an analysis of mummified and material culture remains and cultural organization in archaeology; (4) an analysis of ethno-palentological and material culture remains at a specif research project in Africa (Olduvial Gorge); and (5) fireld and laboratory archaeology that focuses on teaching archaeology undergraduates to acquire digital field data, transfer it to the computer, and then manipulate the data to carry out various kinds of analysis in a cummer field school setting.The materials presented emphasize the learning and/or evaluation of social scientific research methods vby actural "hands-on" applications using computing facilitated instruction.The five learning packages and teaching approaches mentioned above will be demonstrated at a four hour invited session of the annual national meetings of the AAA in Philadelphia on Decembe 1-6, 1998. The session is titled "Anthropology Courseware: Teaching with Electronic Media." The PI is the organizer of the session.The PI expects that the session will reach as many as 150 anthropologists in the session audience and through them the session will reach a considerable number more. The dissemination of information on courseware in anthropology is needed because there is little awareness, discussion or knowledge at a given moment about the applications of new media and electronic communications in undergraduate education within the profession. Because of this, undergraduates in anthropology are currently not benefiting from interactive multimedia instruction.

拟议项目的重点是向美国人类学协会（AAA）成员传播有关新开发的多媒体课件的信息，用于向本科生讲授人类学社会科学研究的各个关键方面。 该会议将在屏幕上展示富有想象力、视觉吸引力和经过课堂测试的基于互联网、WEB 和 CD-ROM 的材料以及计算机辅助人类学教学方法的应用。这些材料包括关于 (1) 民族志实地研究方法的交互式多媒体打包信息； (2) 体质人类学中对人类体质多样性的实验室分析，(3) 考古学中对木乃伊和物质文化遗存以及文化组织的分析； (4) 对非洲特定研究项目（奥杜维尔峡谷）的民族古物学和物质文化遗迹进行分析； (5) 野外和实验室考古学，重点教授考古学本科生获取数字野外数据，将其传输到计算机，然后在野外学校环境中操纵数据进行各种分析。所提供的材料强调通过使用计算辅助教学的实际“实践”应用来学习和/或评估社会科学研究方法。上述五种学习包和教学方法将是 1998 年 12 月 1 日至 6 日在费城举行的 AAA 年度全国会议的四小时特邀会议上进行了演示。该会议的标题是“人类学课件：电子媒体教学”。 PI 是会议的组织者。PI 预计会议观众中将有多达 150 名人类学家，通过他们，会议将惠及更多的人。 人类学课件信息的传播是必要的，因为在特定时刻，对于新媒体和电子通信在该专业本科教育中的应用几乎没有认识、讨论或知识。 因此，人类学本科生目前无法从交互式多媒体教学中受益。
