SPYHOUNDS is a new transmedia learning experience for 6- to10-year old children. SPYHOUNDS represents an effort to extend the value of the successful TV series FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman by moving to a new media platform and revamping the storyline. The popular character Ruff Ruffman becomes a super spy through top-secret missions. Ruff needs help (both on and offline) from kids at home, who become the spyhounds. Each mission is designed to have kids watch new animation, complete online activities designed to promote STEM exploration, and participate in offline activities that require kids to investigate real world phenomena. This Pathways grant provides development support to fund a pilot phase of the project. The STEM content in the pilot phase will focus on physical science. Deliverables will include 3 x 60-second mini animated episodes, 3 interactive games rolling out over a 6-week period, 6 x 60-second audio updates from Ruff, daily in-character blog updates as Ruff plays out the mission, offline decoding activities supported by video clips, daily social media updates through Facebook and Twitter, editorial staff reviewing/posting user generated content, and Web-based survey data. WGBH and Concord Evaluation Group will conduct formative and summative evaluation using a wide array of success metric and analytics. While the project design is rooted in an evidence-based curriculum and lessons learned from prior work, the Spyhounds concept offers a new educational media model. The pilot phase supported by this grant will help inform the future development of a year-long effort. The project's goal is help audience members develop understanding of science and math concepts, enhance problem-solving skills, and expand their understanding of how science and math are used in the real world. Spyhounds has potential to contribute to theory development, especially as it evaluates how young audiences take information learned online and apply it in the real world.

SPYHOUNDS是一种新的跨媒体学习体验，适用于6至10岁的儿童。SPYHOUNDS代表了一种努力，以扩大成功的电视剧FETCH的价值！通过转移到新的媒体平台和修改故事情节，与拉夫·拉夫曼合作。人气人物拉夫·拉夫曼通过绝密任务成为超级间谍。拉夫需要家里的孩子们的帮助(无论是在线上还是线下)，他们成了间谍猎犬。每个任务都旨在让孩子们观看新的动画，完成旨在促进STEM探索的在线活动，并参与要求孩子们调查现实世界现象的线下活动。这笔路径赠款提供发展支持，为该项目的试验阶段提供资金。试点阶段的STEM内容将侧重于物理科学。交付内容将包括3 x 60秒的迷你动画剧集，在6周内推出的3个互动游戏，来自Ruff的6 x 60秒的音频更新，在Ruff执行任务时的每日角色博客更新，视频剪辑支持的离线解码活动，通过Facebook和Twitter的每日社交媒体更新，编辑人员审查/发布用户生成的内容，以及基于网络的调查数据。WGBH和协和评估组将使用广泛的成功指标和分析进行形成性和终结性评估。虽然项目设计植根于循证课程和从先前工作中吸取的经验教训，但Spyhound的概念提供了一种新的教育媒体模式。这笔赠款支持的试验阶段将有助于了解为期一年的努力的未来发展。该项目的目标是帮助观众加深对科学和数学概念的理解，提高解决问题的技能，并扩大他们对科学和数学在现实世界中如何使用的理解。间谍猎犬有潜力为理论发展做出贡献，特别是在评估年轻受众如何将在线学习的信息应用于现实世界的时候。
