Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology(TIEE): Disseminating web- and CD-ROM-Based Educational Materials Through the ESA

生物科学（61）TIEE（生态学的教学问题和实验）是一个网络和光盘资源，旨在帮助教师在生态学课程中采用更多学生主动的方法。TIEE由三个相互关联的部分组成：1)探究性实验，2)课堂争议性问题，3)教学资源的链接和交织。TIEE还解决了教育创新的奖励制度，因为教师提交的实验或问题由TIEE编辑进行同行评审。在1999-2000年期间，在CCLI-EMD概念验证的支持下，我们建立了一个TIEE模型网站和CD-ROM，并在2000年8月美国生态学会（ESA）年会上的一个研讨会上进行了评估。教师们利用光盘进行小组申请和工作；他们评估了整个产品，并分配了实验或问题。对研讨会和TIEE的评价是非常积极的，对目前的项目有帮助。我们还建立了一个TIEE编辑委员会，我们在这次会议上见到了他们。在这一完整的提交中，我们以我们的成功为基础，以证据为基础。欧空局正在其网站上出版TIEE年度刊物，并分发CD-ROM。在ESA、AIBS和AAAS会议的介绍和作者研讨会上，我们正在培训教师撰写和使用问题和实验。在本提案中，我们描述了向TIEE提交问题和实验的指导方针和结构，同行和编辑评审的过程，以及TIEE在此授权期后的可持续性。

Biological Sciences (61)TIEE (Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology) is a web and CD-ROMresource designed to help faculty incorporate more student-active approaches in ecologycourses. TIEE is composed of 3 interrelated parts: 1) inquiry-based experiments, 2) controversial issues for lecture and 3) linked and interwoven teaching resources. TIEE also addresses the reward system for educational innovation because Experiments or Issues submitted by faculty are peer reviewed by TIEE editors. During 1999-2000, with CCLI-EMD Proof-of-Concept support, we built a model TIEE website and CD-ROM which we evaluated in a workshop at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) in Aug. 2000. Faculty applied and worked in small groups with the CD-ROM; they evaluated the overall product plus assigned Experiments or Issues. The evaluation of the workshop and of TIEE was very positive and helpful to the current project. We also established a TIEE board of editors who we met with at this meeting. In this full submission we are building on our successes with the proof. The ESA is publishing an annual issue of TIEE on its website and distributing the CD-ROM. We are training faculty to write and use Issues and Experiments at Introductory and Author workshops at ESA plus AIBS and AAAS meetings. In this proposal we describe the guidelines and structure for submissions of Issues and Experiments to TIEE, the processes for peer and editorial review, and the sustainability of TIEE following this granting period.
