Digital Science Project: Transformation of Classical Science Instructional Modules to Interactive, Multimedia, and Web-based Formats

其他科学NEC（99）该项目正在根据自定进度的模块开发交互式多媒体学习材料，旨在促进掌握基本科学概念和使用科学仪器。PI正在利用最近关于认知和有效科学教学的研究，开发三种类型的模块：生物、化学和物理学的综合基本数学/制图技能模块;生物学和化学的原子吸收光谱模块;生物学和物理学的生物技术程序模块。正在将媒体丰富的交互式材料放在与网络外壳相连的光盘上，以提供易于更新和与数据库相连的材料。正在组织一个由教学设计师、图形艺术家、计算机程序员和内容专家组成的小组来设计和实施这些材料。来自其他机构的教师参与评估原型。在beta测试期间，正在监测学生在选定部分的表现。这些材料一旦完成并经过测试，将制成光盘，并通过一个中央资料库在网上传播。计划在国家和区域科学教育会议上介绍该项目。

Other Sciences NEC (99)This project is developing interactive multimedia learning materials based upon self-paced modules designed to promote mastery of basic science concepts and the use of scientific instruments. The PI's are utilizing recent research on cognition and effective science instruction to develop three module types: an integrated basic math/graphing skills module for biology, chemistry and physics; a module on atomic absorption spectroscopy for biology and chemistry; and a module on biotechnology procedures for biology and physics. Media-rich interactive material is being deployed on CD-ROM's linked to a web-based shell to provide material that can be easily updated and linked to a database. A team consisting of an instructional designer, a graphic artist, computer programmers, and content experts is being organized to design and implement the materials. Faculty from other institutions are involved in evaluating the prototypes. During beta testing, student performance on selected segments is being monitored. Once the materials are completed and tested, they will be made available to be disseminated on CD-ROM and over the web through a central repository. Presentations about the project are planned for national and regional science education meetings.
