Educational Innovation: Multimedia Systems - An Ingtegrated Modular Curriculum

摘要：麻省理工学院，W. Burleson， pi CISE教育创新项目支持计算机工程领域一系列多媒体教学模块的开发。这些模块采用了创新的多媒体技术，从而提供了他们所讨论的技术的直接例子。该项目还包括编制与多媒体系统有关的设计项目档案，并与各级教学模块相联系。这些模块和设计项目是在大学六门不同的本科课程的背景下开发的。传播是通过使用数字视频磁盘（DVD）和该机构的视频教学计划完成的，这是一个具有23年使用历史的远程教育计划。通过该大学的女性工程和少数族裔工程项目，以及女子学院史密斯学院、马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校和斯普林菲尔德技术学院（这两所大学都为大量少数族裔学生提供服务）的参与，未被充分代表的群体也参与了进来。

ABSTRACT: UMass, W. Burleson, PIThis CISE Educational Innovation project supports the development of a series of multimedia instructional modules in areas of computer engineering. The modules are presented with innovative multimedia techniques thus providing a direct example of the technology that they discuss. The project also includes development of an archive of design projects related to multimedia systems and linked to the instructional modules at various levels. The modules and design projects are developed in the context of six different undergraduate courses at the university. Dissemination is accomplished through use of Digital Video Disks (DVD) and through the Video Instructional Program at the institution, a distance education program with a 23-year history of use. Underrepresented groups are involved, through the Women's Engineering and Minority Engineering programs at the University and through the involvement of Smith College, a women's college, and the University of Massachusetts-Boston and Springfield Technical College, both of which serve significant numbers of minority students.
