This project is investigating the design, feasibility, and applications of a Flash-based template system, linked to digital libraries, to enable teachers to easily assemble, assign, and customize online learning activities. Primarily focusing on life science content appropriate to Grades 3-5, the project is developing three computer-based interactive environments that reflect children's' developmental growth. Using template formats to support concept learning, children find, match, categorize, and arrange media objects from a digital library. With another format, children explore and manipulate variables within a model or micro world. A third template format supports scientific observation, data gathering, and analysis. To evaluate and identify tools that enhance the educational effectiveness of digital libraries for elementary teachers and children, the study team is constructing a small online digital collection to provide a research base. The prototype is also being linked to other NSDL collection and service projects, and collaborations with other NSDL projects are investigating the integration of a Flash-based template system into the broader NSDL effort.

这个项目正在研究一个基于flash的模板系统的设计、可行性和应用，该系统与数字图书馆相连接，使教师能够轻松地组装、分配和定制在线学习活动。该项目主要关注适合3-5年级的生命科学内容，开发了三个基于计算机的互动环境，以反映儿童的发育成长。使用模板格式来支持概念学习，孩子们可以从数字图书馆中查找、匹配、分类和安排媒体对象。在另一种格式中，孩子们探索和操纵模型或微观世界中的变量。第三种模板格式支持科学观察、数据收集和分析。为了评估和确定数位图书馆对小学教师和儿童的教育效果，研究小组正在构建一个小型的线上数位馆藏，以提供一个研究基地。该原型还与其他NSDL收集和服务项目相关联，并与其他NSDL项目合作，研究将基于flash的模板系统集成到更广泛的NSDL工作中。
