Expanding the Accessibility of NSDL for Mobile Learning

该项目通过构建原型服务并评估其对K-12和高等教育中非正式和结构化移动的学习的教育影响，解决了与使用小型无线计算设备和NSDL相关的学习者体验方面的关键用户需求，重点关注9-14年级（高中和低年级本科生）以及PDA、手机和音乐/视频播放器的使用。 由于目标是提高NSDL对不同人群的可访问性，评估测试地点包括奥克兰/伯克利的内城学校和外展计划。 该项目是（1）为利用移动的设备的STEM教育数字资源提供元数据建议;（2）实施和测试用户配置文件、个性化功能和本地环境的各个方面，以支持小型移动的设备与NSDL集合接口;（3）实施个性化的浏览、搜索和元数据浏览器，用于小型窗口形式因素和本地环境的各个方面;（4）在9-12年级和低年级大学生的结构化和非正式移动的学习活动中测试原型;（5）开发具有NSDL内容的移动的学习的教学合理使用场景;以及（6）为NSDL社区的移动终端服务提供建议，这些服务来自我们的原型测试和评估。

The project addresses critical user needs around learner experiences related to the use of small wireless computing devices and the NSDL by building a prototype service and evaluating its educational impact on informal and structured mobile learning in both K-12 and Higher Education, with a focus on grades 9-14 (high school and lower division undergraduate) and use of PDAs, cell phones and music/video players. As the goal is to improve accessibility of the NSDL to diverse populations, evaluation test sites include inner city schools and outreach programs in Oakland/Berkeley. The project is (1) providing metadata recommendations for STEM education digital resources that utilize mobile devices; (2) implementing and testing user profile, personalization features and aspects of the local environment to support small mobile devices to interface with NSDL collections; (3) implementing personalized workspaces, search and metadata browser for small window form factors and aspects of the local environment; (4) testing prototypes in both structured and informal mobile learning activities in grades 9-12 and with lower division university students; (5) developing pedagogically-sound use scenarios of mobile learning with NSDL content; and (6) providing recommendations for mobile device services for the NSDL community that emerge from our prototype testing and evaluation.
