Polymer Science Learning Center

南密西西比大学与化学传统基金会和威斯康星大学史蒂文斯分校合作，为聚合物科学教育开发多媒体。该项目包括四个部分：为聚合物科学基础和高级课程(MacroGalleria和聚合物考察)扩展多媒体材料，为聚合物实验室(MacroLab)开发新的多媒体材料，将多媒体材料整合到为期两个学期的本科课程中，以及为材料传播和让大学教师熟悉其使用而举办的讲习班。这些材料包括真实世界的参考资料和所介绍的原理的例子。在这个项目中开发的多媒体材料可以很容易地被几乎没有或没有聚合物经验的教师纳入现有的科学课程，因此具有潜在的广泛应用。通过将科学信息与直接影响我们生活的对象相联系来介绍科学信息，有助于学生更好地学习和理解，并让他们洞察为什么基础科学对我们的世界至关重要。

The project includes four components: extension of multimedia material for basic and advanced courses in polymer science (Macrogalleria and Polymer Expeditions), development of new multimedia material for polymer laboratory (Macrolab), integration of the multimedia materials into a two-semester undergraduate course, and workshops for material dissemination and to acquaint college instructors with its use. The material includes real-world references and examples of the principles introduced.The multimedia material developed in this project can be readily incorporated into existing science courses by instructors with little or no experience in polymers, and as such has potentially widespread applications. Introduction of scientific information by relating it to objects that directly impact our lives helps the student learn and understand better, plus gives them insight into why basic science is vital to our world.
