Collaborative Research ChemEd DL: Extending a Unique Pathway for Chemical Education

这项合作路径II提案继续为化学教育数字图书馆提供资金。化学教育数字图书馆在路径中是独一无二的，因为它是数字资产的集合，而不是链接的集合。因此，它们不会像NSDL内容的许多部分那样受到URL衰减的影响。化学教育数字图书馆的目标是：1)通过提供可用的内容、教学方法、交流工具和专业发展资源来支持学生、教师、公众和ACS成员；2)利用世界上最大的科学学会和最重要的化学教育期刊S的资源来开发和支持用户、教师和开发人员的社区；3)通过与K研究生教育社区的接触来提高对数字资源的认识、使用和发展；4)与NSDL及其组成项目合作，以扩展NSDL服务并促进NSDL资源的使用。除了推进最初的目标外，在继续阶段，基础技术/架构将得到加强和充分整合。其他重大改进包括：1)将更多内容从《化学教育杂志》、美国化学教育学会教育分部和美国化学教育学会分部转移到数字图书馆；2)开发了“更有效的评估化学教育数字图书馆资源有效性的方法”。

This collaborative Pathways II proposal provides continued funding for the Chemical Education DL. The Chemical Education DL is unique among the Pathways as it is a collection of digital assets, not a collection of links. Consequently, they are not subject to URL decay as many portions of NSDL content are. The goals of the Chemical Education DL are: 1)Support students, teachers, the public, and members of the ACS by making available content, pedagogy, communication tools, and professional development resources; 2) Leverage resources of the world?s largest scientific society and foremost chemical education journal to develop and support communities of users, teachers, and developers; 3) Enhance awareness, usage, and development of digital resources through outreach to the K-graduate educational community; 4) Collaborate with the NSDL and its constituent projects to expand NSDL services and promote usage of NSDL resources.In addition to furthering the original goals, during the continuation phase the underlying technical/architecture will be strengthened and fully integrated. Other major enhancements include 1) movement of additional content to the DL from the Journal of Chemical Education, the ACS Education Division and the ACS Division of Chemical Education, 2) development of "more effective means of evaluating the efficacy of the Chemical Education DL resources."
