Collaborative Research: Phase 3 Design, Implementation and Dissemination of Multidisciplinary online Java-Digital Signal Processing (J-DSP) Materials

工程-其他（59）该项目是一个合作项目，涉及亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）作为牵头机构，约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU），华盛顿大学博瑟尔（UWB），草原视图A& M大学（PVAMU）和罗斯-休曼理工学院（RHIT），正在将屡获殊荣的软件包（J-DSP）和教学方法的使用扩展到广泛的新领域，包括数字信号处理，地球系统和地质学、可再生能源系统、艺术和媒体、离子通道系统和基因组学。 在线模块正在设计，部署，并由地理上多样化的多学科团队进行评估。这种教育技术提供免费和普遍访问的基于Web的Java软件，具有直观的界面，使教师能够创建基于Web的讲座，同步在线模拟和动画，并监控学生的进度和偏好。 它允许学生，包括远程学习者，进行在线实验室和跨学科合作，随时随地进行模拟，并与其他大学的同事在线合作。 评估工作是使用自我，同行和教师的评估，以衡量学生的学习质量，通过调整一套在线评估工具上开发的以前的赠款处理一组信号处理课程。 项目小组正在努力通过在项目网站和学科网站（CNX.ORG）上张贴文章、通过与国家空间发展研究所的链接、通过教师讲习班、通过会议介绍和期刊出版物以及通过中学和工业外联来传播教学材料。 更广泛的影响包括两个管理学院的参与，以少数群体为重点的外联工作，涉及教师讲习班和在几个网站上张贴网页的多方面传播。

Engineering - Other (59)The project, a collaboration involving Arizona State University (ASU) as the lead institution, Johns Hopkins University (JHU), University of Washington-Bothell (UWB), Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT), is expanding the use of an award winning software package (J-DSP) and instructional approach into a broad set of new areas including digital signal processing, earth systems and geology, renewable energy systems, arts and media, ion-channel systems, and genomics. Online modules are being designed, deployed, and assessed by a geographically-diverse multidisciplinary team. This educational technology provides free and universally accessible web-based Java software with an intuitive interface that enables instructors to create web-based lectures with synchronized online simulations and animations and to monitor student progress and preferences. It allows students, including distance learners, to conduct online laboratories and collaborate across disciplines, to perform simulations anytime anywhere, and to collaborate online with their colleagues at other universities. The evaluation effort is using self, peer, and instructor assessments to measure the quality of student learning by adapting a set of on-line assessment instruments developed on a previous grant dealing with a set of signal processing courses. The project team is working to disseminate the instructional materials by postings on the project's website and on a discipline-based site (CNX.ORG), by links with the NSDL, by faculty workshops, by conference presentation and journal publications, and by high school and industrial outreach. Broader impacts include an involvement of two MSIs, an outreach effort focused on minorities, multifaceted dissemination involving faculty workshops and web posting on several sites.
