Integration of Computers

这个项目的目标是通过将计算机接口传感器技术和基于实验室的互联网研究结合在一个协作学习的实验室模式中，提高学生对化学概念的理解，提高保留率，增加化学专业的学生入学人数，并提供现代实验室体验。使用计算机收集和分析数据、在互联网上查询化学数据库和可视化化学现象的能力为更开放的协作实验室调查提供了强有力的支持。该项目在化学实验室使用了18台IBM兼容的多媒体计算机和1台配备了Internet和Intranet联网硬件和软件的文件服务器。学生可以通过校园内外的连接访问计算机网络，以便与世界各地的其他学生进行咨询，可视化分子模型和机制动画，并研究化学数据库以找到他们独立问题的答案。每台计算机的模数转换器允许实时收集和分析实验数据。学生在实验室环境中合作，并将化学研究、散文和实验室调查整合到他们的作业中，从而提高他们的化学和沟通技能。

The goals of this project are to improve students' understanding of chemistry concepts, improve retention rates, increase student enrollment in chemistry, and provide a modern laboratory experience by combining computer-interfaced sensor technology and laboratory-based Internet research within a collaborative-learning laboratory model. The ability to collect and analyze data using computers, query chemical databases on the Internet, and visualize chemical phenomena provides powerful support for more open-ended collaborative laboratory investigations. The project uses 18 IBM compatible multimedia computers plus one file server equipped with Internet and intranet networking hardware and software in the chemistry laboratory. The computer network is available to students through connections on and off campus for consulting with other students around the world, visualizing molecular models and mechanism animations, and researching chemical data bases for answers to their independent questions. Analog to digital converters for each computer allow for experimental data to be collected and analyzed in real time. Students improve their chemistry and communication skills as they collaborate in the laboratory setting and as they integrate chemical research, prose, and laboratory investigations into their assignments.
