Assessing the State of Web-Based Laboratory Teaching and Learning

工程 - 其他 (59) 该项目由 WPI 的本科生团队负责研究如何使用基于网络的信息技术提供实验室教学体验。 学生团队将在 WPI 完成为期 7 周的基础研究，然后将在 NSF 本科教育部现场工作另外 7 周来完成他们的项目。 该项目正在确定如何使用科学和工程课程的关键实验室组成部分以及如何使用先进的网络学习技术来补充、补充或以其他方式“传达”本科科学和工程课程中的实验室经验。 WPI 学生将获得满足理学学士学位要求的学分。 与学生一起居住在华盛顿的 WPI 常规教师正在与 NSF 项目主管协商指导他们的工作。 学生们将向美国国家科学基金会提交一份最终报告，除了修订后的文献综述和方法之外，还将包含他们的数据和分析的介绍，以及结论和建议。

Engineering - Other (59)This project is hosting a team of undergraduate students from WPI to research the state-of-the-art in how laboratory teaching experiences are delivered using web-based information technologies. The team of students are completing 7 weeks of foundational research at WPI, then will work on-site at NSF in the Division of Undergraduate Education for another 7 weeks to complete their project. The project is ascertaining how the critical laboratory components of science and engineering courses and how advanced web-mediated learning technologies are being used to complement, supplement, or otherwise "convey" laboratory experiences in the undergraduate science and engineering curriculum. The WPI students are receiving academic credit in fulfillment of a requisite for the Bachelor of Science degree. Regular WPI faculty, who are resident in Washington with the students, are guiding their work with consultation with NSF program directors. The students will deliver a final report to the NSF that will contain, in addition to their revised literature review and methodology, presentation of their data and analysis, along with conclusions and recommendations.
