NECC '95 Special Session for NSF DUE Projects (National Educational Computing Conference)

一个严重的，持续的需要显然存在的计算机使用模型，已被证明是有效的支持本科教育的传播。 1995年全国教育计算会议（NECC '95）预计将有5，000多人参加，它提供了一个很好的机会，可以将几次定期会议专门用于这种思想、程序和产品的分享。 作为NECC '95的项目主席，这位主要研究者寻求资金，使会议能够邀请来自所有科学和NSF本科教育部（DUE）支持的其他学科的研究人员，学者和从业人员参加这些特别会议。 其目的是展示，讨论，甚至产生他们的工作交叉授粉。 适当的DUE项目可以从项目影响的摘要中确定：在本科教育中传播创新，这是1994年5月31日至6月3日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的DUE赞助活动中的项目概要。 邀请已经开发出有趣的产品，如软件，多媒体等的主要研究人员展示和讨论这些产品，不仅展示了NSF支持的研究，而且提供了一对一互动，动手互动体验，刺激思想交流的机会，并在各级科学教育中改进计算机技术的使用。

A serious, continuous need clearly exists for dissemination of models of computer usage that have been demonstrated to be effective in supporting undergraduate education. The 1995 National Educational Computing Conference (NECC '95), with an anticipated attendance of more than 5,000 persons, offers an excellent opportunity to devote several regular conference sessions to exactly this kind of sharing of ideas, programs and products. As program chair for NECC '95, this principal investigator seeks funding to enable the Conference to invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners from all of the sciences and from other disciplines that the NSF Department of Undergraduate Education (DUE) supports to participate in these special sessions. The purpose will be to demonstrate, discuss, and even produce cross-pollination of their work. Appropriate DUE projects can be identified from the abstracts in Project Impact: Disseminating Innovations in Undergraduate Education, a compendium of the projects featured at the DUE sponsored activity May 31 - June 3, 1994 in Arlington, Virginia. Inviting principal investigators who have developed interesting products such as software, multimedia, etc. to display and discuss those products not only showcases NSF- supported research, but provides opportunities for one-on- one interaction, hands-on interactive experiences, stimulating exchanges of ideas, and improvements in uses of computer technology in science education at all levels.
