Assessing the State of Web-Based Laboratory Teaching and Learning: Phase II

我们的项目将帮助美国国家科学基金会以及更大的STEM社区了解如何使用基于网络的信息技术提供实验室教学经验。该项目将确定如何使用先进的网络媒介学习技术来“传达”本科科学和工程课程中的实验室经验。我们的团队将在现有数据库的基础上开展工作，并开始评估正在解决的学生学习成果。此外，我们的最终报告将包含正式的文献、项目目标和方法。我们的研究结果将以正式的口头报告形式向NSF人员、WPI教师和其他受邀者进行辩护。最后，我们项目的结果将在年度教育前沿会议上发表。

Our project will help the National Science Foundation as well as the larger STEM community understand how laboratory-teaching experiences are delivered using web-based information technologies. The project will ascertain how advanced web-mediated learning technologies are used to "convey" laboratory experiences in the undergraduate science and engineering curriculum. Our team will work to build on an existing database and begin to evaluate what student learning outcomes are being addressed. In addition, our final report will contain a formal literature , project goals, and a methodology. Our findings will be defended in a formal oral presentation to NSF personnel, WPI faculty and other invitees. Finally the results from our project will be presented at the annual Frontiers in Education Conference.
