Interdisciplinary (99)The objective of this project is to study the efficacy of visualization techniques in an online laboratory learning environment and, in general, the integration of media into a wide range of cyberlearning tools. The expected outcomes include a set of guidelines for integration of visualizations into a standardized online lab user interface; on assisting curriculum developers and teachers in identifying the types of visualizations that are most useful in supporting student learning in an authentic scientific inquiry; and on guiding their search for appropriate visualization resources in NSDL repositories.This project focuses on the ways in which learning experiences can be effectively designed by asking questions: about types of visualizations needed to support student learning; about the place in the learning sequence where each visualization and accompanying activity is placed; about giving a choice to learners whether they are directed to specific visualizations at specific points in the inquiry process or whether they are allowed to choose which visualization to view at their discretion. By producing specific guidelines, this project has a potential to improve the integration of appropriate visualizations into student scientific investigation activities, support individualized learning paths, and accommodate different learning approaches.The guidelines developed during this project are shared with the NSDL Technical Network Services Group, all end-users of Teachers' Domain or other NSDL archives. They provide more descriptive metadata that improves the search and selection of appropriate visualizations from these repositories and can serve as a model for improving resource integration in a wide range of learning contexts.

（99）本项目的目标是研究可视化技术在在线实验室学习环境中的效果，以及将媒体整合到广泛的网络学习工具中。预期的结果包括一套将可视化集成到标准化在线实验室用户界面的指导方针；协助课程开发者和教师识别在真正的科学探究中支持学生学习最有用的可视化类型；并指导他们在NSDL存储库中寻找合适的可视化资源。该项目侧重于通过提问有效设计学习体验的方式：关于支持学生学习所需的可视化类型；关于在学习序列中每个可视化和伴随活动的位置；关于让学习者选择是否在查询过程的特定点上被引导到特定的可视化，或者是否允许他们自行选择查看哪个可视化。通过制定具体的指导方针，该项目有可能改善将适当的可视化整合到学生的科学调查活动中，支持个性化的学习路径，并适应不同的学习方法。在此项目中制定的指南与NSDL技术网络服务小组、教师域的所有最终用户或其他NSDL档案共享。它们提供了更具描述性的元数据，这些元数据可以改进从这些存储库中搜索和选择适当的可视化，并且可以作为在广泛的学习环境中改进资源集成的模型。
