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

这一合作途径II提案为化学教育DL提供了持续的资金。化学教育DL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DL的目标是：1)通过提供内容、教学方法、交流工具和专业发展资源来支持学生、教师、公众和美国化学学会成员；2)利用世界资源？美国最大的科学学会和最重要的化学教育期刊，以发展和支持用户、教师和开发人员社区；3)通过拓展k -研究生教育界，提高对数字资源的认识、使用和开发；4)与NSDL及其组成项目合作，扩展NSDL服务，促进NSDL资源的使用。除了进一步实现最初的目标之外，在延续阶段，底层技术/体系结构将得到加强和完全集成。其他主要的改进包括：1)将化学教育期刊、美国化学学会教育部和美国化学学会化学教育部的额外内容移至DL； 2)开发“更有效的方法来评估化学教育DL资源的有效性”。

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."
