Digital Imaging: Infusing Active Learning throughout a Science Curriculum

该奖项是建立一个数字成像和数据分析中心的联网计算机和图像采集设备，在整个科学课程的各个层次使用。该设施是仿照一个成功的数字成像实验室在生物学系在富兰克林和马歇尔学院（DUE 9750430），并适应我们相互关联的科学部门。该奖项是（1）通过数字成像让学生积极参与科学探究过程，（2）通过即时数据交换和投影促进学生之间的合作研究，以及（3）通过链接共享成像作为实验方法的课程来展示科学学科的相互关联性。为了实现这些目标，教师谁代表所有科学部门，并在其课程超过60%的所有学生在学院注册每年都利用该设施。一些课程正在纳入跨学科的实验室练习。该项目正在以积极的方式影响学生在科学方面的表现，学生对科学的看法以及学生进入科学专业的招聘。该项目的成果将通过讲习班、海报展示、出版物和网站广泛传播。

This award is establishing a digital imaging and data analysis center of networked computers and image acquisition equipment for use at all levels across the science curriculum. The facility is modeled after a successful digital imaging laboratory in the Department of Biology at Franklin and Marshall College (DUE 9750430) and is adapted for our interconnected science departments. The award is (1) engaging students in an active manner in the process of scientific inquiry through digital imaging, (2) promoting collaborative research between students through instant data exchange and projection, and (3) demonstrating the inter-relatedness of scientific disciplines by linking courses that share imaging as an experimental approach. In order to achieve these aims, faculty who represent all science departments and in whose courses greater than 60% of all students in the College are enrolled are utilizing the facility each year. Several of the courses are incorporating cross-disciplinary laboratory exercises. This project is impacting in a positive fashion student performance in science, student perceptions of science, and recruitment of students into science majors. Results of this project will be widely disseminated through workshops, poster presentations, publications, and websites.
