Preserving the STEM Education Community's Access to the SALG Website and Data

SALG仪器[学生学习成绩评估]是一个基于网络的软件系统，允许教师注册他们的课程，并要求或要求他们的学生登录到系统回答有关课程的问题，特别是课程的学习组件，如课程技术，教科书，讲座，实验室，讨论和小组项目。它可以用于课程设计的形成性评估以及学期末的课程评估。它可以在一个学期中反复使用，用于课程的形成性和总结性评估。 SALG网站是通过早期的NSF奖项设计和投入运营的。该网站为用户提供了一个非常容易使用的服务。它总结了学生的调查结果，并将结果通过电子邮件发送给教师。当前的项目是一个补救操作，旨在将当前的平台从一种编程语言迁移到一种更流行的语言（Perl到JAVA）。除了这一变化，SALG网站的维护仍然由PI及其团队承担费用。有10，000名教师用户依赖此工具，并且每个学期都会添加新用户。

The SALG instrument [Student Assessment of their Learning Gains] is a web-based software system that allows faculty instructors to register their courses and require or request their students to log into the system to answer questions about the course, specifically the learning components of the course such as course technology, textbook, lectures, labs, discussions, and group projects. It can be used for formative assessment about the design of the course as well as an end of the semester course evaluation. It can be used repeatedly during a semester for both formative and summative assessment of the course. The SALG site was designed and put into operation through an earlier NSF award. The site provides a very easy to use service to its users. It summarizes student survey responses and emails the results back to instructor. The current project is a salvage operation, designed to move the current platform from one programming language to a more current language (PERL to JAVA). Except for this change, the maintenance of the SALG web site continues to be at the expense of the PI and his team. There is an installed base of 10,000 instructor users who depend on this tool and new users are added every semester.
