Interactivity Chemistry Experiments: A Multimedia Approach

该项目包括开发、测试、制作和分发四个用于开始大学化学课程的教学多媒体软件模块。每个模块都有四个“化学工作台”实验和一个正在申请专利的特殊导航系统。通过使用鼠标点击技术，学生可以针对溶液、动力学、酸碱平衡和电化学等主题构建和测试不同的化学实验。整合了文本、QuickTime彩色电影、PICT静止图像、语音解说和动画序列技术的模块正在使用彩色显示器为Macintosh II系列和IBM PC/Clone平台开发。观看数字运动彩色图像不需要特殊的视频板、激光光盘或激光光盘播放器。这些模块是使用Macromedia的“Director”、SuperCard和Swvel 3D软件进行编程的。这些材料正在接受来自各高校的学生和化学教职员工的测试、评估和审查。基于原型的承诺，一家主要的大学化学教科书出版商正在为该项目做出贡献。

The project involves developing, testing, producing, and distributing four instructional multimedia software modules for use in beginning college chemistry courses. Each module features four "Chemistry Workbench" experiments and a special patent pending navigation system. By use of point-and-click mouse techniques, students construct and test different chemistry experiments for topics in solutions, kinetics, acid- base equilibria, and electrochemistry. Modules which incorporate text, QuickTime color movies, PICT still images, voice narration, and animation sequence techniques are being developed for both the Macintosh II family and IBM PC/clone platforms using a color monitor. No special video boards, laserdiscs, or laserdisc players are required to view the digital motion color images. The modules are programmed using MacroMedia's "Director", SuperCard, and Swivel 3D software. The materials are being tested, evaluated and reviewed by students and chemistry faculty from various colleges and universities. Based upon the promise of a prototype, a major college chemistry textbook publisher is contributing to the project.
