Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library (K-MODDL)

这个收藏项目汇集了与现代运动学创始人Franz Schleaux（1829-1905）为研究和教学而设计的220个19世纪后期模型机器元件相关的教育材料。该集合的资源包括这些运动学教学模型的静止和可导航的移动图像;系统的描述，以及与机制收集相关的历史和当代文件;与机制运动相关的数学关系的计算机模拟，以及在本科，中学和初中课堂上使用模型和模拟的示例教学模块。在数学、科学和工程教学中使用物理模型被认为是视觉思维的重要组成部分，对于数学活动的认知基础以及向函数的代数描述的过渡至关重要。这个项目说明了博物馆质量的物理文物与数字媒体的潜力的富有成效的婚姻，并使更广泛的观众访问使用物理模型的好处，而不仅仅是那些谁可以物理访问的资源。

This Collections project is aggregating educational materials associated with the 220 late 19th-century model machine elements designed for research and teaching by the founder of modern kinematics, Franz Reuleaux (1829-1905). Resources of the collection include still and navigable moving images of these kinematic teaching models; systematic descriptions, and historical and contemporary documents related to the collection of the mechanisms; computer simulations of mathematical relationships associated with the movements of the mechanisms, and sample teaching modules that employ the models and simulations in the classroom at the undergraduate, secondary and middle school levels. The use of physical models in teaching mathematics, science, and engineering is recognized as an important component of visual thinking, and as essential to the cognitive foundations of mathematical activity and in the transition to an algebraic description of functions. This project illustrates the fruitful marriage of museum quality physical artifacts with the potential of digital media, and enables a much broader audience to access the benefits of using the physical models than only those who can physically visit the resources.
