Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology(TIEE): Disseminating web- and CD-ROM-Based Educational Materials Through the ESA

生物科学（61）TIEE（生态学教学问题和实验）是一个网络和CD-ROM资源，旨在帮助教师在生态课程中纳入更多的学生主动的方法。TIEE由三个相互关联的部分组成：1）基于探究的实验，2）有争议的演讲问题，3）链接和交织的教学资源。TIEE还解决了教育创新的奖励制度，因为教师提交的实验或问题由TIEE编辑进行同行评审。在1999-2000年期间，与CCLI-EMD概念验证的支持下，我们建立了一个模型TIEE网站和CD-ROM，我们在2000年8月的美国生态学会（ESA）年会的研讨会上进行了评估。教师应用并与CD-ROM小组工作;他们评估了整个产品加上分配的实验或问题。对讲习班和技术、经济和环境评估的评价非常积极，对目前的项目很有帮助。我们还成立了一个TIEE编辑委员会，我们在这次会议上会见了他们。在这个完整的提交，我们正在建设我们的成功与证据。欧空局每年在其网站上出版一期TIEE，并分发CD-ROM。我们正在欧空局加上AIBS和AAAS会议的介绍性和作者研讨会上培训教师编写和使用问题和实验。在本提案中，我们描述了向TIEE提交问题和实验的指导方针和结构，同行和编辑审查的过程，以及TIEE在此授予期后的可持续性。

Biological Sciences (61)TIEE (Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology) is a web and CD-ROMresource designed to help faculty incorporate more student-active approaches in ecologycourses. TIEE is composed of 3 interrelated parts: 1) inquiry-based experiments, 2) controversial issues for lecture and 3) linked and interwoven teaching resources. TIEE also addresses the reward system for educational innovation because Experiments or Issues submitted by faculty are peer reviewed by TIEE editors. During 1999-2000, with CCLI-EMD Proof-of-Concept support, we built a model TIEE website and CD-ROM which we evaluated in a workshop at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) in Aug. 2000. Faculty applied and worked in small groups with the CD-ROM; they evaluated the overall product plus assigned Experiments or Issues. The evaluation of the workshop and of TIEE was very positive and helpful to the current project. We also established a TIEE board of editors who we met with at this meeting. In this full submission we are building on our successes with the proof. The ESA is publishing an annual issue of TIEE on its website and distributing the CD-ROM. We are training faculty to write and use Issues and Experiments at Introductory and Author workshops at ESA plus AIBS and AAAS meetings. In this proposal we describe the guidelines and structure for submissions of Issues and Experiments to TIEE, the processes for peer and editorial review, and the sustainability of TIEE following this granting period.
