Introduction of Modern Instrumentation in the First Two Years of Chemistry: The Iowa Chemistry Curriculum Network (IACCN)

9455646格林堡这个项目的目标是在大学化学的头两年研究、开发和整合三个关于现代仪器的模块教学资源。这些单元将包含处理当前现实世界主题、小组项目、更新的教学方法、学生学习评估、强调概念思维的互动多媒体和探索性实验室实验的面向工具的组件。将与Engineering Animation，Inc.合作开发交互式多媒体计算机程序，模拟FT-IR和FT-核磁共振光谱仪的操作，从样品处理到数据采集和工作。加州大学圣地亚哥分校已经开发了UV-VIS多媒体模拟。由爱荷华州15所社区学院、3所公立大学和4所私立学院组成的联盟将通过爱荷华州光纤通信网络上的远程视频会议和年度夏季研讨会，在该项目的各个方面进行合作。该项目将使整个爱荷华州的学生和教职员工能够通过计算机模拟方便地使用现代仪器(UV-VIS、FT-IR和FT-核磁共振)。爱荷华州立大学将作为一个信息交换中心，运行参与机构的学生提交的实际化学样本。样本将在爱荷华州立大学的仪器上运行，来自社区学院和私立大学的学生和教职员工将通过互联网(通过anon ftp、万维网或电子邮件)以数字文件或图形图像的形式获得光谱。该项目将为爱荷华州的四年制院校和所有社区学院提供新的课程改进和发展。

9455646 Greenbowe The objectives of this project are to research, develop, and incorporate three modular instructional resources on modern instrumentation in the first two years of college chemistry. The modules will contain instrumentation-oriented components dealing with current real-world topics, group projects, updated teaching methods, student learning assessments, emphasis on conceptual thinking interactive multimedia and exploratory laboratory experiments. Development of interactive, multimedia computer programs that simulate the operations of the FT-IR, and FT-NMR spectrometers, from sample handling to data acquisition and work-up will be developed in collaboration with Engineering Animation, Inc. A UV-VIS multimedia simulation has already been developed at the University of California at San Diego. A consortium of Iowa's 15 community colleges, three public universities, and four private colleges will collaborate on all aspects of the project through long-distance video conferences on Iowa's fiber-optics communication network and at annual summer workshops. This project will enable students and faculty in the entire state of Iowa to have facile access to modern instrumentation (UV-VIS, FT-IR and FT- NMR) via computer simulations. Iowa State university will serve as a clearing house for running actual chemical samples submitted by students of the participating institutions. The samples will be run on instruments at Iowa State University, and the spectra will be made available to the students and faculty from the community colleges and private colleges over the internet (via anon ftp,the world wide web, or by e-mail) as digital files or graphic images. This project will provide new curriculum enhancements and developments to four-year institutions and all community colleges in the state of Iowa.
