Web-Delivered Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (WEBILD): Creating an Active Science Learning Environment over the Internet

物理(13)这个项目开发了在传统和非传统入门物理环境中促进有效教学的方法和工具。我们正在为我们之前开发的一种经过验证的交互式教学方法--交互式讲座演示(ILDS)--开发一个网络交付系统。原型WebLD与课堂中的ILD一样，会导致概念理解上的重大变化，并且易于实现。从这种久经考验的、以研究为基础的教学方法和我们成功的WebILD原型软件开始，我们正在：1)以学生学习为指导，通过在更多和更多样化的入门课程受众中测试并使用它进行远程学习，来提炼运动、力和能量WebILD原型。2)在额外的物理主题领域创建WebILD序列。3)完善交付和管理软件，并在全国范围内提供该软件和WebILD序列。该项目以学习者为中心，使用成熟的概念性评估来衡量学习。我们正在利用互联网交付的灵活性来调整ILDS，以提高其对包括妇女和少数族裔在内的准备不足的学生已经相当有效的效果。该项目满足了对远程学习、与互联网教学相结合的教学方法以及对教师教学方法的需求。

Physics (13) This project develops methods and tools that facilitate effective teaching in both traditional and non-traditional introductory Physics environments. We are producing a web delivery system for a proven interactive pedagogy, Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs) that we developed earlier. Prototype WebILDs, like in-class ILDs, lead to significant changes in conceptual understanding and are easy to implement. Starting with this proven, research-based, pedagogical method and our successful WebILD prototype software we are:1) refining, using student learning as a guide, the Motion, Force, and Energy WebILD prototype by testing it with larger and more diverse introductory course audiences and using it for learning at a distance. 2) creating WebILD sequences in additional physics topic areas. 3) refining delivery and administration software and making the software and the WebILD sequences available nationally. This project focuses on the learner and uses well established conceptual evaluations to measure learning. We are using the flexibility of internet-delivery to adapt ILDs to increase their already considerable efficacy with under-prepared students including women and minorities. This project meets a need for distance learning, for pedagogical methods that work with Internet delivery, and for methods to teach teachers.
