Exploratory Workshop: The Collaboratory for Undergraduate Research and Education

协作室是远程计算时代实验室的逻辑概括。它将科学家团结在一起从事科学研究，即使他们在空间和时间上相距遥远。教育协作室将教职员工、学生和科学家团结在一起，通过做科学来学习科学。本科合作实验室将为教师和学生提供科学资源--仪器、专家和信息--用于教学和研究，是高校学生实验室的合乎逻辑的概括。一个由高等教育机构组成的联盟--西北教育合作实验室联盟(NECC)和太平洋西北国家实验室(PNNL)的环境与分子科学实验室(EMSL)将继最近在本科生教室举办的EMSL合作实验室规划研讨会之后，于1996年9月在EMSL为NECC教职员工和EMSL科学家举办为期一周的深入探索性研讨会，探索EMSL合作实验室的本科科学教育。这个研讨会是为了探索一个全面的模型开发项目的可行性。

A collaboratory is the logical generalization of the laboratory in the age of telecomputing. It unites scientists to do science together, even if apart in space and time. A collaboratory for education unites faculty, students, and scientists to work together to learn science by doing science. A collaboratory for undergraduate education will give faculty and students access to science resources - instruments, experts, and information - for instruction and research, and is the logical generalization of the student laboratory for colleges and universities. A consortium of higher education institutions - the Northwest Educational Collaboratory Consortium (NECC) - and the Environmental & Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will follow a recent planning workshop The EMSL-Collaboratory in the Undergraduate Classroom with a week-long, in-depth, exploratory workshop for NECC faculty and EMSL scientists, Exploration of an EMSL-Collaboratory for Undergraduate Science Education at the EMSL in September 1996. This workshop is to explore the feasibility of a full-scale, model development project.
