DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) application is to evaluate the feasibility of adapting an advanced technology employed in biomedical research and practice-volumetric image processing and analysis (VIPA)-for science and mathematics education in formal secondary school settings. The project, entitled Volumetric Imaging for Science Instruction of an Open Nature (VISION), will produce a CD-ROM-based multimedia lesson-"Noodling Neurons"-for use in middle schools, high schools, and informal science education centers. The lesson will be based on neuron microanatomy visualization research being conducted by Dr. Joseph Szurszewski, Department of Physiology, Mayo Clinic, in collaboration with the Biomedical Imaging Resource department of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota (BIR). The lesson will introduce the learner to neuron microanatomy in an engaging manner, provide an online tool that allows the learner to explore the topic by conducting a basic science experiment with VIPA, analyze data gathered during the experiment, and understand the results. The lesson will also serve as a prototype for a full set of CD-ROM-based materials that will include ten multimedia lessons. The full set of lessons will be developed with funding from a Phase II STTR grant. The adaptation of VIPA for educational purposes will be conducted by Science-Approach, a for-profit corporation. Science-Approach will work in cooperation with the Center for Image Processing in Education (CIPE), a nonprofit research institution located in Tucson, Arizona, and BIR. Science-Approach will create the educational materials in collaboration with CIPE. BIR will adapt its commercially available VIPA software-Analyze-for use in the proposed multimedia materials and provide data for use in the proposed lesson. The VISION project will help create a bridge between comfortable uses of technology in educational settings to less comfortable but infinitely more rewarding and educationally beneficial practices. The project hopes to create instructional materials that will nurture educators to become opinion leaders and "bleeding-edge" innovators in their field, creating a foundation for reform of the uses of computer technology in education.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个第一阶段的小企业技术转让（STTR）应用的目标是评估适应生物医学研究和实践中采用的先进技术的可行性-体积图像处理和分析（VIPA）-在正规中学环境中进行科学和数学教育。该项目名为“开放自然科学教学的体积成像”（VISION），将制作一个基于光盘的多媒体课程-“Noodling Neurons”-供初中、高中和非正式科学教育中心使用。该课程将基于神经元显微解剖可视化研究，该研究由马约诊所生理学系Joseph Szurszewski博士与明尼苏达州罗切斯特的马约诊所生物医学成像资源部门合作进行（BIR）。该课程将以引人入胜的方式向学习者介绍神经元显微解剖学，提供一个在线工具，允许学习者通过使用VIPA进行基础科学实验来探索该主题，分析实验期间收集的数据，并了解结果。该课程还将作为全套基于CD-ROM的材料的原型，其中包括十堂多媒体课程。全套课程将由第二阶段STTR赠款提供资金。将由一家营利性公司Science-Approach对VIPA进行教育改编。科学方法将与教育图像处理中心（CIPE），一个位于亚利桑那州图森市的非营利性研究机构和BIR合作。科学方法将与CIPE合作制作教育材料。BIR将调整其商业上可用的VIPA软件-分析-用于拟议的多媒体材料，并提供数据用于拟议的课程。VISION项目将有助于在教育环境中舒适地使用技术与不太舒适但更有价值和教育上有益的做法之间建立一座桥梁。该项目希望制作教学材料，培养教育工作者成为各自领域的意见领袖和“前沿”创新者，为教育中使用计算机技术的改革奠定基础。
