FSML - Technology & Teleconferencing Improvements for the Duke University Marine Laboratory

杜克大学海洋实验室在Joseph Ramus博士的指导下获得一笔拨款，为该机构的新海洋科学教学中心提供研究和远程会议设备，该中心将于2006年春季投入使用。这些设备将加强新中心的研究、教育和培训作用，包括将服务于依赖技术的研究和课程的共享使用仪器，以及将促进信息交流和远程学习工作的视频会议设备。更广泛的影响演示真正有效地使用视频会议系统进行教学和会议将是海洋实验室的一个里程碑。这个新的海洋实验室设施有望为本科生和研究生的研究和教育提供良好的整合，并促进高质量的共享经验。

A grant has been awarded to the Duke University Marine Lab under the direction of Dr. Joseph Ramus to provide research and teleconferencing equipment for the institution's new Ocean Science Teaching Center which will be ready for occupancy in spring 2006. The equipment, which will enhance the research, education and training roles of the new Center, includes shared-use instruments that will serve technology-dependent research and courses, and videoconferencing equipment that will facilitate information exchange and distance learning efforts. Broader ImpactsDemonstrating truly effective use of the videoconference system for teaching and meetings will be a milestone for marine labs. This new marine lab facility is expected to provide excellent integration of research and education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and to facilitate a shared experience that is of unusually high quality.
