This full-scale EMD collaborative effort involves five universities, namely, Arizona State University (ASU), the University of Washington Bothell (UWB), the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), the University of Rhode Island (URI), and the University of Central Florida (UCF). The project involves significant educational technology innovations and software extensions that enable the ASU online prototype software Java-DSP (J-DSP; http://jdsp.asu.edu) to be used in undergraduate courses across the five participating universities. Problems that are being addressed include the delivery of technology-enhanced laboratory experiences to undergraduate students using novel Java tools, and the broad assessment of these practices across the participating universities. The project tasks and objectives include: a) software development towards producing a new delivery technology, b) considerable mathematical functionality extensions of J-DSP, c) development of laboratory exercises by all the Co-PIs at the different universities, d) a geographically-diverse assessment that involves the faculty specialists at all five universities, e) a comprehensive pilot test of a new revolutionary multi-site laboratory concept that allows students in the five universities to concurrently run real-time integrated online simulations using the planned connectivity upgrades on J-DSP, and f) dissemination and publication of all results. The educational innovation is enabling distance learners to conduct laboratories over the Internet. The concepts developed in this project are serving as a model for developing and conducting online labs in other science disciplines.

这一全面的EMD合作努力涉及五所大学，即亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）、华盛顿大学博瑟尔（UWB）、德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UTD）、罗得岛大学（URI）和中佛罗里达大学（UCF）。该项目涉及重大的教育技术创新和软件扩展，使ASU在线原型软件Java-DSP（J-DSP; http://jdsp.asu.edu）能够在五所参与大学的本科课程中使用。正在解决的问题包括交付技术增强实验室的经验，本科生使用新的Java工具，这些做法在参与大学的广泛评估。项目的任务和目标包括：a）软件开发，以产生新的交付技术，B）J-DSP的大量数学功能扩展，c）由不同大学的所有Co-PI开发实验室练习，d）涉及所有五所大学的教师专家的地理多样性评估，e）对一个新的革命性多地点实验室概念进行全面的试点测试，该概念允许五所大学的学生使用计划中的J-DSP连接升级同时运行实时集成在线模拟，（f）传播和出版所有成果。教育创新使远程学习者能够通过互联网进行实验。在这个项目中开发的概念是作为一个模型，在其他科学学科的开发和进行在线实验室。
