Cyberchase is the only mathematics series for children on U.S. television. Cyberchase is designed to engage children aged 8-11 in mathematics, help them develop knowledge and skill in math and problem-solving, and reinforce the usefulness of mathematics. The content of Cyberchase supports the 3rd-5th grade standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. While Cyberchase will continue to be broadcast nationally on PBS, this broad implementation proposal will expand access to Cyberchase's entire body of materials on a reconstructed online portal. This new digital portal will house all of Cyberchase's multi-media mathematics content including 94 episodes, over 50 online math games, and scores of activities. The portal will organize materials by math topic, allow for on-demand viewing and downloading, and create guided learning trajectories to make it easy and fun to explore a math concept more deeply. Ongoing outreach will sustain Cyberchase's PBS presence and its impact on communities. Multimedia Research will conduct front-end/formative evaluation to inform design decisions. MediaKidz Research and Consulting will help set up online tracking mechanisms in the prototype phase and will track and analyze data once the portal is launched.The project will partner with online content providers such as Yahoo Kids and NSDL's Science and Math Informal Learning Educators (SMILE) pathway, and Science Buddies to expand distribution and use. They will also work with existing partners, both in the formal and informal arenas, to introduce the new portal to a wider audience. These partners include the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM), Girl Scouts, Girls, Inc., National Engineering Week Foundation (EWeek), and VITAL (Video in Teaching and Learning). Cyberchase online currently attracts 500,000 unique visits a month. The proposed portal will continue to serve this audience in improved ways and serve new audiences who cannot or do not watch PBS stations. It will also provide a home for the material for the expanding numbers of young people who are spending increasing time online. Besides expanding access to Cyberchase materials, the new portal will be able to provide guided learning paths through which users will be prompted to navigate around themes or concepts. To test whether the new learning pathways succeed in encouraging children to use related media on the site, tracking mechanisms will be designed and the resulting data analyzed.

Cyberchase是美国电视上唯一的儿童数学系列节目。 Cyberchase旨在让8-11岁的儿童参与数学，帮助他们发展数学和解决问题的知识和技能，并加强数学的实用性。 Cyberchase的内容支持全国数学教师理事会的3 - 5年级标准。 虽然Cyberchase将继续在PBS上向全国广播，但这一广泛的实施建议将扩大在重建的在线门户网站上获得Cyberchase全部材料的机会。这个新的数字门户网站将容纳所有的Cyberchase的多媒体数学内容，包括94集，超过50个在线数学游戏，和分数的活动。该门户网站将按数学主题组织材料，允许按需查看和下载，并创建指导学习轨迹，使更深入地探索数学概念变得简单有趣。正在进行的外联活动将维持Cyberchase的PBS存在及其对社区的影响。 多媒体研究将进行前端/形成性评估，为设计决策提供信息。MediaKidz研究和咨询公司将在原型阶段帮助建立在线跟踪机制，并将在门户网站启动后跟踪和分析数据。该项目将与在线内容提供商合作，如Yahoo Kids和NSDL的科学和数学非正式学习教育者（SMILE）途径，以及科学伙伴，以扩大分发和使用。 他们还将与正式和非正式领域的现有伙伴合作，向更广泛的受众介绍新的门户网站。这些合作伙伴包括国家数学教师理事会（NCTM）、国家数学主管理事会（NCSM）、女童子军、女孩公司、国家工程周基金会（EWeek）和VITAL（教学视频）。Cyberchase在线目前每月吸引50万次独立访问。 拟议的门户网站将继续以更好的方式为这一受众提供服务，并为不能或不收看PBS电视台的新受众提供服务。 它还将为越来越多的上网时间越来越长的年轻人提供一个资料库。 除了扩大对Cyberchase材料的访问外，新的门户将能够提供指导性的学习途径，通过这些途径，用户将被提示围绕主题或概念进行导航。为了测试新的学习途径是否能成功地鼓励孩子们使用网站上的相关媒体，将设计跟踪机制，并分析由此产生的数据。
