This is an EAGER proposal supported under the SAVI initiative that is conducting research on knowledge organization techniques for visualizing and presenting STEM content digitally so as to engage students and engender deep learning. The PIs are applying the results of their research (in an iterative fashion) toward the development of new presentation, interaction, and navigation techniques for digital STEM content, and then evaluating these digital artifacts in the context of an inquiry-based pedagogy designed around dynamic digital text. In the long term, the team envisions a cloud-based service architecture that allows anytime, anywhere, and as-needed access to dynamic digital content covering an extensive set of topics for school and college level STEM education that is integrated with a proven pedagogy that makes effective use of digital STEM content. Collaboration with researchers in Finland is a key component of this work, as the team is testing its theoretical framework for dynamic digital texts with content in science and computing, for middle school and college, in Finnish and English. As such, this project is a first attempt to systematically evaluate the use and utility -- across multiple content domains, learner levels, and cultures -- of dynamic digital texts founded on concept map-based organizations of domain knowledge. In keeping with the spirit of the EAGER mechanism, this project is exploratory in nature; and while its multi-faceted nature presents risks in execution, there is a potentially transformative payoff to this work in that it can lay an excellent technological foundation for dynamic digital texts of the future.

这是SAVI倡议支持的EAGER提案，该倡议正在研究知识组织技术，以数字方式可视化和呈现STEM内容，以吸引学生并产生深度学习。PI正在将他们的研究结果（以迭代的方式）应用于数字STEM内容的新演示，交互和导航技术的开发，然后在围绕动态数字文本设计的基于探究的教学法的背景下评估这些数字工件。从长远来看，该团队设想了一个基于云的服务架构，允许随时随地按需访问动态数字内容，涵盖学校和大学级别STEM教育的广泛主题，并与有效利用数字STEM内容的成熟教学法相结合。与芬兰研究人员的合作是这项工作的关键组成部分，因为该团队正在测试其理论框架，用于芬兰语和英语的中学和大学的科学和计算内容的动态数字文本。因此，这个项目是第一次尝试系统地评估使用和效用-跨多个内容领域，学习者的水平，和文化-的动态数字文本建立在概念图为基础的领域知识的组织。与EAGER机制的精神保持一致，该项目本质上是探索性的;虽然其多方面的性质在执行中存在风险，但这项工作可能会带来变革性的回报，因为它可以为未来的动态数字文本奠定良好的技术基础。
