Collaborative Research: Advancing Undergraduate Chemistry Education with Dynamic Open-Access ChemWiki HyperTextbooks

这个超级教科书项目是由加州大学戴维斯分校领导的一个团队，参与的有索诺玛州立大学、迪亚波罗谷学院、康特拉科斯塔社区学院、霍普学院和明尼苏达大学莫里斯分校。该合作伙伴关系正在开发、交付和扩展一个名为The ChemWiki的单一综合在线资源中的化学教育变革内容。ChemWiki是围绕一种协作的化学教育方式组织起来的，在这种方式下，一本开放获取的教科书不断地被编写和重写，一部分由学生编写，一部分由教师编写，最终形成了一本免费的、高质量的教科书，任何人都可以随时随地、通过互联网访问。ChemWiki允许单个教师通过订购模块化内容来创建Wikitext，以满足本地化需求，并且允许通过嵌入式图形编辑器修改其他核心模块，然后将其合并到Wikitext中。不断增长的维基文本列表可供任何人根据需要阅读、改编和采用。ChemWiki整合了一个单独的应用程序，“学生能力评级和查询系统”（SARIS），通过整合一个广泛的问题数据库，增加了与ChemWiki核心材料的链接，解决了学生实践的需求。SARIS提供测验和家庭作业问题，这些问题都是从一个深池中抽取的，并为学生提供即时的形成性反馈，旨在提高他们解决问题的能力。ChemWiki通过让学生参与内容构建，使他们能够参与学习。ChemWiki模块化概念的本质是允许内容在多个级别的多个课程中使用和重复使用。化学wiki的开放和动态特性允许直接的错误纠正和及时的内容，几乎可以即时修改最先进的材料。多作者构建方法通过所采用的策略的广度的本质增强了使用的灵活性。最后，跨机构发展计划在广泛的高等教育机构中产生了具有独特价值的产品。

This hyper textbook project is a team effort led by the University of California at Davis with participation by Sonoma State University, Diablo Valley College, Contra Costa Community College, Hope College, and University of Minnesota at Morris. The partnership is developing, delivering and expanding transformative content for chemistry education within a single, integrated online resource known as The ChemWiki. The ChemWiki is organized around a collaborative approach to chemistry education where an Open Access textbook is constantly being written and re-written, partly by students and partly by faculty, resulting in a no-fee, high-quality textbook, accessible anytime, anywhere, by anyone with internet access. The ChemWiki is enabling Wikitexts to be created by individual faculty by ordering modular content in a way that is meeting localized needs, and is allowing other Core Modules to be modified via an embedded graphical editor, and then incorporated into the Wikitext. The ever growing list of Wikitexts is available for anyone to peruse, adapt and adopt as needs dictate. The ChemWiki is incorporating a separate application, the 'Student Ability Rating and Inquiry System' (SARIS) that is addressing the need for student practice, by incorporating an extensive question database augmented with links to the ChemWiki core material. SARIS is providing quiz and homework questions, drawn from a deep pool, and is providing students with immediate formative feedback designed to enhance their problem-solving skills.The ChemWiki is enabling student participatory learning by engaging them in the content construction. The nature of The ChemWiki modular concept is permitting content to be used and re-used in multiple courses at multiple levels. The open and dynamic nature of The ChemiWiki is allowing both straightforward error correction and timely content with near instantaneous modification possible for state-of-the-art material. The multiple author construction approach is enhancing usage flexibility by the very nature of the breadth of strategies employed. Finally, the inter-institutional development scheme is leading to a product of distinct value across a broad swath of institutions of higher education.
