Interactions in Understanding the Universe (I2U2)

摘要0736126 PI: bardeen该奖项授予I2U2：理解宇宙的相互作用，这是一个“教育虚拟组织”（EDVO），旨在通过为一系列连贯、协作的在线科学教育实验室提供基础设施支持和项目框架，加强美国大学和实验室的科学实验教育和推广活动。I2U2为各种学科维护一个不断增长的教育实验室在线组合，并提供工具和支持服务，以帮助开发人员创建这些教育资源。这些实验室通过使用国家电网网络基础设施进行教育，开辟了新的领域，就像科学越来越多地使用网格一样。I2U2合作实验室有两种相似但截然不同的形式。e-Labs, ?作为在教室和家里都可以访问的基于web的门户，通过基于web的媒体不断扩展的功能来实现。教学实验室,?以交互界面的形式提供，通常位于科学博物馆和类似的公共场所。I2U2将部署和维护自己作为一个？虚拟组织?为跨越项目边界和来自许多不同家庭机构的参与者提供支持，这些参与者对开发基于网格的教育和扩展资源有着共同的兴趣，并寻求通过互联网和网格进行交流、协调和接触目标受众。I2U2还将广泛评估和评估科学教育实验室组合的有效性和使用情况。

ABSTRACT0736126 PI: BardeenThis award is for I2U2: Interactions in Understanding the Universe, an "educational virtual organization" (EDVO), which is designed to strengthen the education and outreach activities of scientific experiments at U.S. universities and laboratoriesby providing infrastructure support and a program framework for a portfolio of coherent, collaborative online science education laboratories. I2U2 maintains a growing online portfolio of educational laboratories for a diverse range of disciplines and provides tools and support services to assist developers in creating these educational resources. These laboratories break new ground by using the national Grid cyberinfrastructure for education in the same way that science increasingly uses the Grid. I2U2 collaboratories take two similar but distinct shapes. ?e-Labs,? delivered as Web-based portals accessible in the classroom and at home, are implemented with the ever-expanding capabilities of Web-based media. ?i-Labs,? are delivered as interactive interfaces typically located within science museums and similar public venues. I2U2 will deploy and maintain itself as a ?virtual organization? to provide support for participants across project boundaries and from many different home institutions who share a common interest in developing Grid-based education and outreach resources, and who seek to communicate, coordinate and reach their target audience through the Internet and the Grid. I2U2 will also extensively evaluate and assess the effectiveness and use of the portfolio of science education laboratories.
