This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project is designed to develop interactive, Internet-delivered educational television technology. The proposed research will use intelligent tutoring system (ITS) technology integrated with animation to create educational programming for middle school math and science that makes the viewer an actual part of the TV plotline. Through viewer interactions and dialog with the TV characters, the viewer's mastery of the subject matter will be assessed and the program events will unfold accordingly. Customized instruction will be presented to the viewer dynamically by the TV characters. This research will involve the development of a pilot detective TV show and test its educational effectiveness in three school districts, by comparing it to a similar version of the show without interactivity.The broad impact of the proposed research is to create web-based interactive television technology that allows viewers to participate in the unfolding of the TV program and influence the events that happen. Additionally, this development will enhance current educational television practice and will create two potential commercial opportunities: as a pure entertainment venture in the field of educational TV and as a complement to the current fully-automated online tutoring services. This type of interactive TV can serve as an entertaining way to learn as well as show how academic content is used in real world contexts. If successful, the proposed research would help raise educational achievement as well as stimulate interest in math and science by making the learning process more enjoyable.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段研究项目旨在开发交互式、互联网交付的教育电视技术。这项拟议的研究将使用智能辅导系统(ITS)技术与动画相结合，为中学数学和科学制作教育节目，使观众成为电视情节的实际组成部分。通过观众与电视角色的互动和对话，观众对题材的掌握程度将得到评估，节目事件将相应展开。定制的指令将由电视角色动态呈现给观众。这项研究将涉及开发一个试点侦探电视节目，并通过将其与没有互动的类似版本的节目进行比较，来测试其在三个学区的教育效果。拟议的研究的广泛影响是创造基于网络的互动电视技术，允许观众参与电视节目的展开并影响所发生的事件。此外，这一发展将加强目前的教育电视实践，并将创造两个潜在的商业机会：作为教育电视领域的一个纯娱乐项目，以及作为对目前全自动在线辅导服务的补充。这种类型的互动电视可以作为一种娱乐的方式来学习和展示如何在现实世界中使用学术内容。如果成功，这项拟议的研究将有助于提高教育成就，并通过使学习过程更加愉快来激发人们对数学和科学的兴趣。
