CISE Educational Innovation: A Distributed Collaborative Learning Environment for Effective Intellectual Teamwork Across the Curriculum

9634485 Glinert，Ephraim香槟，马修伦斯勒理工学院 CISE教育创新：一个分布式的协作学习环境，有效的知识团队合作的课程。 该CISE教育创新奖支持通过开发分布式协作学习环境（DCLE）将研究整合到本科课程中，这是一个混合物理和电子空间，使学生团队能够在灵活的配置中满足和学习，跨计算机科学课程。 该项目将包括开发和提供利用新能力的课程，正式评估新学习环境的有效性，以及广泛传播所开发的概念、结构和原型系统。 在DCLE环境中，组成一个团队的学生可能在一个房间里，甚至坐在同一张桌子周围。 在其他时候，他们可能会坐在两个或更多的表，或一些可能位于校园的其他地方（甚至地理位置偏远）。 无论物理布局如何，每个学生的计算机都与所有其他队友的计算机相连，创新的系统软件通过适合任务和个人用户的各种灵活和自然的界面，为协作信息开发，共享和交换提供了强大的支持。 该项目是由跨学科活动（CDA）在CISE和本科教育（DUE）在EHR与DUE资金支持强调远程学习，利用开发的DCLE在虚拟教室和教学提供的实验基础上，从加州/戴维斯大学RPI的司共同支持的整体努力的一部分。

9634485 Glinert, Ephraim Champagne, Matthew Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute CISE Educational Innovation: A Distributed Collaborative Learning Environment for Effective Intellectual Teamwork Across the Curriculum. This CISE Educational Innovation award supports the integration of research into the undergraduate curriculum through the development of a Distributed Collaborative Learning Environment (DCLE), a hybrid physical and electronic space which will enable teams of students to meet and learn in flexible configurations, across the computer science curriculum. The project will include development and delivery of courses that exploit the new capabilities, formal assessment of the effectiveness of the new learning environment, and wide dissemination of concepts, architecture, and prototype systems developed. In the DCLE environment, the students comprising a team may be in one room, even seated around the same table. At other times, they may be seated around two or more tables, or some may be located elsewhere on campus (even geographically remote). Whatever the physical layout may be, each student's computer is linked to those of all other teammates, and innovative system software provides powerful support for collaborative information development, sharing and exchange, through a variety of flexible and natural interfaces suited to the task and the individual user. This project is part of an overall effort jointly supported by the Office of Cross Disciplinary Activities (CDA) in CISE and the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) in EHR with the DUE funding supporting an emphasis on distance learning, utilizing the developed DCLE in a virtual classroom and with instruction delivered on an experimental basis from University of California/Davis to RPI.
