Chemistry (12)This project advances knowledge and practice by demonstrating the applicability of Web 2.0 approaches to chemical education, adding significant value to the Chemical Education Digital Library (ChemEd DL), the NSDL?s chemistry Pathway. JavaScript Automated Search (JAS) and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) are combined to create a wikihyperglossary (WHG). This tool automates the process by which a user can insert into a digital text document or Web page hyperlinks connecting to glossary definitions that were created or modified by an individual or a community. Hyperlinks can be to textual material such as definitions of words, or they can involve multimedia such as videos showing reactions of the chemical elements or manipulable Jmol structures for molecules. When a user reads a word or phrase in a document that is connected to a glossary term, the information associated with the term can be viewed without leaving the original document. The Web paradigm and its success show the value of making information accessible by mouse click, in text as well as graphics, movie, and audio formats. From students' perspectives, this information needs to also be engaging and personalized. The methods demonstrated by this research enhance the value of the ChemEd DL and can be readily extended to other Pathways and NSDL collections.This project creates a means of adding value to existing information by making learning more convenient and efficient. Teachers are able to quickly and easily enhance text documents to include links to well tested Web resources such as those of the ChemEd DL. Students are able immediately to link documents they are reading with definitions of scientific terms (or add such links to their own work). Members of the public struggling to interpret scientific documents that may be crucial to informed decisions on public policy are much better able to interpret such documents by adding WHG annotation links to information that explains the concepts included in the documents. Those beginning work in new fields of research are able to get up to speed much more rapidly by choosing an appropriate glossary for the new field and annotating research papers that are essential to understanding the field. Those working with new graduate students are able to annotate documents and research papers to provide much more rapid access for neophytes.

化学(12)这个项目通过展示Web2.0方法在化学教育中的适用性，促进了知识和实践的发展，为化学教育数字图书馆(CHIME DL)增加了重要价值，NSDL·S化学路径。结合了JavaScript Automated Search(JAS)和Achronous JavaScript and XML(AJAX)来创建WikiHyperglossary(WHG)。该工具使用户可以在数字文本文档或网页中插入连接到由个人或社区创建或修改的词汇表定义的超链接的过程自动化。超链接可以是文字材料，如单词的定义，也可以涉及多媒体，如展示化学元素反应的视频或分子的可操作JMOL结构。当用户阅读与术语表术语相关联的文档中的单词或短语时，可以在不离开原始文档的情况下查看与术语相关联的信息。Web范例及其成功展示了通过鼠标点击以文本、图形、电影和音频格式访问信息的价值。从学生的角度来看，这些信息也需要有吸引力和个性化。本研究展示的方法提升了CHIME数字图书馆的价值，可以很容易地扩展到其他路径和NSDL收藏品。该项目通过使学习更加方便和高效，为现有信息创造了一种增值的手段。教师能够快速和轻松地增强文本文档，以包括到经过充分测试的Web资源的链接，例如CHIME DL的那些资源。学生们能够立即将他们正在阅读的文件与科学术语的定义联系起来(或者将这样的链接添加到他们自己的工作中)。对于可能对公共政策的明智决策至关重要的科学文件，难以解释的公众能够更好地解释这些文件，方法是在解释文件中包含的概念的信息中添加WHG注释链接。那些在新研究领域的初学者能够通过为新领域选择适当的词汇表并注释对理解该领域至关重要的研究论文来更快地掌握速度。那些与新研究生一起工作的人能够为文档和研究论文添加注释，为新手提供更快的访问途径。
