The Biomechanics of Human Movement Laboratory Curriculum project is creating new learning materials and software based tools for use in undergraduate programs in kinesiology, exercise science, pre-physical therapy and related areas. The curriculum, itself, is embodied in a series of software-based laboratory exercises custom written to adapt to student input. This laboratory curriculum is tied to an existing Biomechanics of Human Movement textbook and Kinematic Analysis (KA) biomechanics research software. At the conclusion of the project, the software for a complete biomechanics curriculum (including a textbook, a biomechanics research software suite and a custom developed laboratory curriculum) will be available to all interested educational institutions through a zero-dollar, unlimited-term, university / student home use license agreement. This will enable broad distribution of the materials to students on a DVD-R disks. Intellectual Merit The laboratory curriculum includes software-based lessons that reinforce student learning for the primary learning objectives associated with the existing course and textbook. In addition, students develop research data analysis skills through scripted ?mini-research? exercises tied to the KA software. The laboratory exercise software employs conditional branch content sequencing, an approach that improves the learning experience for all students by manipulating the presentation of content materials in response to student input. For example, as part of any given laboratory exercise, students read the laboratory content materials and respond to questions as they interact with the software. Student understanding of the various portions of the exercise is then dynamically evaluated within the software by analyzing the percentage of correct scores, the types of incorrect responses and the time duration between responses. Students that score well are given (via software manipulations) advanced sections for the laboratory exercise. Students that score poorly are given supplementary foundation materials to better prepare them for the moderately difficult materials that will follow. Students that perform at the expected level experience the ?normal? sequence of course materials. In effect, the software based laboratory exercises adapts the details of the laboratory curriculum to meet the needs of the individual student. All measures of student performance are stored on students? local computers and later collected over the laboratory?s local area network for use by the instructor and by the researchers. Broader Impacts The new curriculum materials can be used in undergraduate education for multiple fields include kinesiology, exercise science and pre-physical therapy, and, when fully developed, will be available for dissemination through zero-dollar license agreements. Where adopted, the curriculum will involve students in video-based biomechanical research as the software transforms a ?normal? personal computer into a video analysis workstation. Currently, the high cost and steep learning curves of commercially produced motion analysis software is stifling the growth of undergraduate student research in biomechanics and limiting the extent of their preparation for graduate study and professional opportunities. This project?s research software, coupled with the practical and theoretical foundation provided by the textbook and laboratory curriculum, removes these barriers.

人体运动生物力学实验室课程项目正在创建新的学习材料和基于软件的工具，用于运动学，运动科学，预物理治疗和相关领域的本科课程。 课程本身体现在一系列基于软件的实验练习中，这些练习是为适应学生的输入而定制的。 该实验室课程与现有的人体运动生物力学教科书和运动分析（KA）生物力学研究软件相关联。 在项目结束时，一个完整的生物力学课程（包括教科书，生物力学研究软件套件和定制开发的实验室课程）的软件将通过零美元，无限期，大学/学生家庭使用许可协议提供给所有感兴趣的教育机构。 这将使材料广泛分布到学生的DVD-R光盘。智力优势实验室课程包括基于软件的课程，以加强学生对与现有课程和教科书相关的主要学习目标的学习。 此外，学生通过脚本开发研究数据分析技能？小型研究与KA软件绑定的练习。 实验室练习软件采用条件分支内容排序，这种方法通过操纵内容材料的呈现来响应学生的输入，从而改善所有学生的学习体验。 例如，作为任何给定实验练习的一部分，学生阅读实验内容材料，并在与软件交互时回答问题。 然后，通过分析正确分数的百分比、不正确回答的类型和回答之间的持续时间，在软件中动态评估学生对练习各个部分的理解。 得分高的学生将获得（通过软件操作）实验练习的高级部分。 分数低的学生会得到补充的基础材料，以更好地为接下来的中等难度的材料做准备。 学生表现在预期水平的经验？正常吗课程材料的顺序。 实际上，基于软件的实验室练习适应实验室课程的细节，以满足个别学生的需求。 所有学生表现的衡量标准都储存在学生身上？本地计算机，然后在实验室收集？的局域网，供教师和研究人员使用。 新课程材料可用于多个领域的本科教育，包括运动机能学，运动科学和预物理治疗，并在充分开发后，将通过零美元许可协议进行传播。 如果通过，课程将涉及学生在视频为基础的生物力学研究的软件转换？正常吗？将个人电脑转换成视频分析工作站。 目前，商业化生产的运动分析软件的高成本和陡峭的学习曲线正在扼杀生物力学本科生研究的增长，并限制了他们为研究生学习和专业机会做准备的程度。 这个项目？的研究软件，再加上教科书和实验室课程提供的实践和理论基础，消除了这些障碍。
