Assessing the State of Web-Based Laboratory Teaching and Learning

（59）本项目由WPI的本科生组成，研究如何利用基于网络的信息技术提供最先进的实验教学经验。学生团队将在WPI完成为期7周的基础研究，然后将在NSF本科教育部门现场工作7周以完成他们的项目。该项目旨在确定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媒介学习技术来补充、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学生在完成理学学士学位的必要条件时获得学分。WPI的常规教员与这些学生一起住在华盛顿，他们与国家科学基金会项目主任协商，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，除了他们修改的文献综述和方法外，还将包括他们的数据和分析，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.
