There is strong evidence that the targeted use of interactive instructional content creates an immersive, non-linear environment that engages students and improves learning and understanding. The project advances the creation and adoption of interactive instructional materials within the ATE community simultaneously providing students engaging, interactive content and addressing spiraling textbook costs. Workshops and a self-paced online course will train educators to create interactive content using free and relatively inexpensive tools and empower them to develop their own interactive, immersive and engaging learning elements and share what they have learned and developed with colleagues and students.The project will positively impact teaching and learning by infusing interactivity with purpose to help students grasp difficult concepts and increase the number of students successfully completing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs. Existing NSF centers and projects and industry contributors will be solicited to provide content for interactive materials and review the materials developed. Significant efforts will also be made to engage faculty and institutions that serve underrepresented populations. Collaboration with five ATE national centers will impact a significant number of students and faculty, including the participating subject matter experts (SMEs) and their students as well as colleges, high schools and individual faculty associated with these centers and the ATE community at-large. Underrepresented populations will be reached through existing outreach efforts of these partners, face-to-face workshops at predominantly minority-serving institutions and via promotion of the self-paced online course to organizations, publications and social media connected with educators and institutions that serve traditionally underrepresented populations.

有强有力的证据表明，有针对性地使用交互式教学内容可以创造一个身临其境的非线性环境，吸引学生并提高学习和理解。该项目推进ATE社区内交互式教学材料的创建和采用，同时为学生提供引人入胜的交互式内容，并解决不断上升的教科书成本。讲习班和自定进度的在线课程将培训教育工作者使用免费和相对便宜的工具创建互动内容，并使他们能够开发自己的互动，沉浸式和引人入胜的学习元素，并与同事和学生分享他们的学习和发展。该项目将通过注入互动来帮助学生掌握困难的概念，并增加成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）课程的学生。现有的NSF中心和项目以及行业贡献者将被要求提供互动材料的内容，并审查开发的材料。还将作出重大努力，让为代表性不足的人口服务的教师和机构参与进来。与五个ATE国家中心的合作将影响大量的学生和教师，包括参与的主题专家（中小企业）和他们的学生以及与这些中心和ATE社区相关的大学，高中和个别教师。将通过这些合作伙伴现有的外联工作、在主要为少数群体服务的机构举办面对面讲习班，以及向与教育工作者和传统上为代表性不足的群体服务的机构有联系的组织、出版物和社交媒体推广自定进度的在线课程，来接触代表性不足的群体。
