Local Area Network (LAN) Multimedia Computer Laboratory to Enhance Science Instruction

9352376迪亚兹多媒体计算机实验室的科学司，包括工作站连接在局域网与激光视盘播放器和实验室接口的数据采集，将允许在本科科学课程的根本性变化。微积分，物理，化学和天文学以及其他科学课程的教学将通过使用“动手”互动方法来实现这种变化，学生可以探索正在研究的主题的限制和可能性。该实验室旨在激发学生的好奇心，并希望培养学生寻找答案的愿望，促进科学和非科学专业的积极和探究式教学。教学将通过提供丰富和加速学习的指导来个性化，打破专制的传统讲座形式的障碍。 我们期望透过改善现时的教学水平，以及透过广泛的现代电脑技术训练，提高学生的专业及技术资格，为学生提供更佳的科学教育。 这些课程的教学大纲已经设计好了，参与其中的Mercyhurst教师已经准备好了新的技术。 ***

9352376 Diaz A Multimedia Computer Laboratory for the Science Division, consisting of workstations connected in a Local Area Network with laser videodisc players and laboratory interfaces for data acquisition, will allow for a radical change in the undergraduate science curriculum. This change in the teaching of calculus, physics, chemistry and astronomy and other science courses will be achieved by using a "hands on" interactive approach in which the student can explore the limits and possibilities of the subject under study. The laboratory is designed to stimulate the curiosity of students and will hopefully develop the students' desire to search for answers, promoting active and inquiring instruction for science and non- science majors. The instruction will be individualized by providing guidance for enrichment and accelerated learning, breaking the barrier of the authoritarian traditional lecture format. We expect to provide a better science education for our students by improving the present level of instruction and enhancing their professional and technical qualifications by an extensive training in the most modern computer technologies. A change in the syllabi for these classes has already been designed and the Mercyhurst faculty involved with them is already prepared in the new techniques. ***
