9950760MathiasThe University of Southern Mississippi, in collaboration with the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, develops multimedia for polymer science education. 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.

9950760 mathias南密西西比大学与化学遗产基金会和威斯康星大学史蒂文斯角分校合作，开发了用于高分子科学教育的多媒体。该项目包括四个组成部分：扩展高分子科学基础和高级课程的多媒体材料（Macrogalleria和polymer Expeditions），为高分子实验室开发新的多媒体材料（Macrolab），将多媒体材料整合到两个学期的本科课程中，以及为材料传播和使大学教师熟悉其使用而举办的讲习班。材料包括现实世界的参考资料和介绍原则的例子。在这个项目中开发的多媒体材料可以很容易地被很少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物体联系起来，介绍科学信息，有助于学生更好地学习和理解，并使他们了解为什么基础科学对我们的世界至关重要。
