Logging Opportunities in Online Programs for Science (LOOPS): Student and Teacher Learning

该项目利用技术，通过分析使用计算机课程材料过程中产生的学生行为的评估和日志，为教师创建及时，有效和可操作的报告。这些报告使教师能够就替代教学策略做出基于数据的决定。该技术支持学生协作和将不同的学习活动分配给小组，这是通用学习设计（UDL）所需的基本功能。最初，两个课程单元正在开发中，以满足加州8年级的标准（当然60%）。 在该项目的后期，这项工作将扩大到北卡罗来纳州中央大学和该州的地区。该项目是一个合作伙伴关系，涉及物理科学家，学习科学家，教育工作者和TELS，一个建立的NSF资助的学习和教学中心。 该项目是以教育技术领域的大量研究和开发为基础的。 该项目代表了在使用技术支持学生学习的形成性评估和向教师提供反馈方面的重大创新进展。

The project makes use of technology to create timely, valid, and actionable reports to teachers by analyzing assessments and logs of student actions generated in the course of using computer-based curriculum materials. The reports allow teachers to make data-based decisions about alternative teaching strategies. The technology supports student collaborations and the assignment of different learning activities to groups, an essential function needed for universal design for learning (UDL). Initially, two curriculum units are under development to meet California 8th grade standards (60% of course). In the later years of the project this effort will be expanded to North Carolina Central University and districts in that state.The project is a collaborative partnership that involves physical scientists, learning scientists, educators, and TELS, an established NSF-funded Center for Learning and Teaching. The project is based on an extensive body of research and development in educational technology. The project represents a significant and innovative advance in the use of technology to support formative assessment of student learning and provide feedback to teachers.
