Physical Chemistry in Practice: An Interactive Multimedia Web-DVD Companion for the Physical Chemistry Course

化学（12）在NSF CCLI-EMD的资助下，我们成功地开发了物理化学的概念验证原型DVD（数字视频磁盘）。我们现在正在制作DVD的完整版本，开发了8个新模块，并更新了为原型创建的2个模块。完整的10个模块的DVD将是一个多媒体程序，可以让物理化学本科的学生看到他们在课程中学到的概念的实际实验应用。DVD的每个模块将探讨学术界或工业界的研究实验室正在进行的具有科学意义的研究项目，以及当前和有关的应用。视频媒体将用于提供高质量的研究节目，包括首席科学家的讲座信息和实验室录像，以展示研究的实际情况。视频节目辅以大量的高端3d动画和图形来辅助教学概念。此外，DVD的独特Web界面允许我们为学生提供包含背景理论和交互式问题的HTML文档。这些问题是基于正在进行的实际研究，包括来自物理化学学生的实验的真实数据进行分析。这个Web-DVD接口是此类教育应用程序中的第一个，通过提供学习材料的组合方法，可以为具有不同学习风格的学生提供服务。

Chemistry (12)With funding from an NSF CCLI-EMD grant, we have successfully developed a proof-of-concept prototype DVD (digital video disk) for physical chemistry. We are now creating a full version of the DVD, with developing 8 new modules and updating the 2 modules created for the prototype. The complete 10-module DVD would be a multimedia program that will allow students in undergraduate physical chemistry to see the practical, experimental applications of the concepts they are learning in the course. Each module of the DVD would explore a scientifically significant research project being carried out in a research laboratory in academia or industry, with current and relevant applications. The video medium would be used to provide high-quality programs about the research that include lecture information by the principal scientist and laboratory footage to demonstrate the research in action. The video program is supplemented with numerous high-end 3-D animations and graphics to assist in teaching the concepts. In addition, a unique Web interface to the DVD allow us to include HTML documents containing background theory and interactive problems for the students. These problems are based on the actual research being carried out, including authentic data from those experiments for the physical chemistry students to analyze. This Web-DVD interface is the first of its kind for an educational application, and would serve students with different learning styles by providing a combination of approaches for learning the material.
