Chemistry (12)The project is addressing known and significant deficiencies in the way undergraduate students are educated in the chemical sciences by implementing a teaching and learning environment in which the boundaries between lecture and laboratory are eliminated. Building on our preliminary work, we are modifying the Studio-Laboratory concept pioneered by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and California Polytechnic State University, and elements from NSF-CCLI awards (9951346; 9950501; 9952732; 9972293) for our analytical and honors-level chemistry courses. This provides a teaching and learning environment which addresses our students' difficulty in making higher-level connections between theory and practice, and improves the laboratory technique they exhibit in quantitative experimentation. Central to this endeavor is the change from supervision and assessment of "canned" experiments to an inquiry-based study of real-world problems and laboratory techniques. A number of novel technological features are being incorporated into our version of the Studio-Laboratory which is divided into stations. Each station, serving up to four students, supports two computers and data interfaces (Vernier Lab Pro) and a diode-array UV-VIS spectrometer. Each group of four stations (a cluster) shares an FT-IR spectrophotometer. The instructor serves as an "expert-mentor" and "guide" to provide an inquiry-based learning environment rich in real world content and laboratory techniques. WebCT augments the instructor by serving as the gateway to the educational media under development. On-demand video, conceptual animations, and self-paced learning assignments are being designed specifically to help our students build higher-level connections between theory and practice, particularly those who are more visual learners and those requiring additional reinforcement or support. Workshops are being offered to faculty and staff from all universities and colleges in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in order to introduce the university community to the Studio-Laboratory concept. Additional workshops will be held for high school teachers.

化学（12）该项目通过实施消除讲座和实验室之间界限的教学和学习环境，解决了本科生在化学科学教育方面的已知和重大缺陷。在我们初步工作的基础上，我们正在修改由伦斯勒理工学院和加州理工州立大学开创的工作室实验室概念，以及NSF-CCLI奖项（9951346; 9950501; 9952732; 9972293）的元素，用于我们的分析和荣誉化学课程。这提供了一个教学和学习环境，可以解决学生在理论与实践之间建立更高水平联系的困难，并提高他们在定量实验中表现出的实验室技术。这一奋进的核心是从监督和评估“罐头”实验的变化，以调查为基础的研究现实世界的问题和实验室技术。一些新的技术特点正在被纳入我们的工作室实验室，这是分为站的版本。每个站最多可供四名学生使用，支持两台计算机和数据接口（Vernier Lab Pro）以及一台二极管阵列UV-VIS光谱仪。每组四个站点（一个集群）共享一个FT-IR分光光度计。讲师作为“专家导师”和“指南”，提供一个基于探究的学习环境，丰富的真实的世界的内容和实验室技术。WebCT通过作为正在开发的教育媒体的网关来增强教师的能力。点播视频，概念动画和自定进度的学习任务是专门设计的，以帮助我们的学生建立理论和实践之间的更高层次的联系，特别是那些谁是更多的视觉学习者和那些需要额外的强化或支持。正在为密歇根州上半岛所有大学和学院的教职员工举办讲习班，以便向大学社区介绍工作室-实验室的概念。将为高中教师举办更多的讲习班。
