Proof of Concept Proposal for Physical Chemistry in Practice - An Interactive Multimedia DVD Companion for the Physical Chemistry Course

化学（12）该项目正在开发多媒体光盘（DVD，CD）的原型，使物理化学的学生能够看到他们在讲座课程中学习的概念的实际实验应用。这个高年级课程传统上非常抽象和数学导向。多媒体补充是帮助学生之间的象征性和理论材料，以及如何将这些概念付诸实践的连接。在较低水平的化学课程中，教师通常可以进行课堂演示，但在物理化学中，这要困难得多。拟议的物理化学多媒体伴侣允许教师使用图形，动画，视频和真实的仪器的互动活动来演示现象，并展示目前正在进行的物理化学领域的研究。物理化学实践（PCIP）数字视频光盘（DVD）是教师和学生的多媒体资源。DVD包含几个“程序”，这些程序与传统的物理化学主题有关。每个程序包括1）描述：一个仪器或实验的交互式描述，说明了一个特定的物理化学主题。交互式描述有照片、内部零件的图纸、计算机动画和设备的文本/叙述式讨论2）视频参观：设备或实验的录像参观，包括与描述设备及其应用的领域专家的简短访谈。访谈之后是使用中的仪器的视频片段和典型数据的收集3）交互式数据：来自仪器或实验的典型数据被用于教程程序中，其中学生可以解释，操作和分析信息。原型DVD包含两个完整的程序。一个说明了原子力显微镜（AFM）在确定聚合物的某些热力学性质的应用;另一个描述了表面增强拉曼光谱（Sers）的使用。原型项目也导致在一个完整的列表中的程序的全面发展的DVD和传统的物理化学课程的主题，这些程序对应的描述。

Chemistry (12) The project is developing a prototype for a multimedia disc (DVD,CD) that is allowing students in physical chemistry to see the practical, experimental applications of the concepts they are learning in the lecture course. This upper-division course is traditionally very abstract and mathematically oriented. The multimedia supplement is helping students to make a connection between the symbolic and theoretical material and how those concepts are put into practice. In lower level chemistry courses it is often possible for an instructor to carry out classroom demonstrations but in physical chemistry this is much more difficult. The proposed multimedia companion for physical chemistry is allowing instructors to demonstrate phenomena using graphics, animations, video and interactive activities of real instruments and showcase research currently being conducted in the field of physical chemistry. The Physical Chemistry in Practice (PCIP) digital videodisc (DVD) is a multimedia resource for both instructors and students. The DVD contains several 'programs', which are tied to traditional physical chemistry topics. Each program consists of 1) Description: An interactive description of an apparatus or experiment that illustrates a particular Physical Chemistry topic. The interactive description has photos, drawings of internal parts, computer animations and text/narrated discussions of the device 2) Video Tour: A videotaped tour of the apparatus or experiment that includes a brief interview with an expert in the field describing the device and its application. Video footage of the instrument in use and the collection of typical data follow the interview 3) Interactive Data: Typical data from the apparatus or experiment is being used in a tutorial program in which students can interpret, manipulate and analyze the information. The prototype DVD contains two complete programs. One illustrates the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in determining certain thermodynamic properties of polymers; the other describes the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The prototype project is also resulting in a complete list of programs for the full-development DVD and a description of the traditional physical chemistry course topics to which these programs correspond.
