Collaborative Project: Digital Educational Resources in Microbial Ecology, Evolution and Diversity (DERMEED1)

dermed -1是一个权威的和不断扩展的教育资源，为教育工作者和学生的多样化社区提供有关微生物的专家信息。其范围涵盖微生物的进化、多样性以及极端环境下的生态和生命。这个合作项目（伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室和蒙大拿州立大学）汇集了在开发网络媒介教育资源方面具有强大和先前独立记录的研究人员，它填补了NSDL的一个重要利基，连接了分子生物学、基因组学、微生物生态学和地球系统科学领域。此外，它还处理这些领域的教学资源的课程需要以及公众对各种形式的生命的多样性和事件的兴趣。该门户网站由伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室的海湾保罗中心提供服务，并以早期作为美国宇航局天体生物学研究所一部分的贡献为基础。DERMEED-1汇集并传播来自相关项目（如micro*scope， Tree of Life）的图像、数据和科学贡献，并通过NSDL网络提供分类名称服务器（一种处理分类元数据的机制）。此外，正在编制教学材料的专题合集，使用lesese编目做法，作为这些数据库的教育覆盖。这些资源增加了K-16的课程要求，并服务于公共外展组织（博物馆，国家公园）或那些致力于终身学习的人的需求。教学资源的选择是由提供资源以满足用户社区需求的教学最佳实践驱动的。科学资源（图像、数据）和教学资源（专题收藏）的共同开发，显著地实现了NSF的研究与教育一体化的目标。dermed -1提供微生物学多个维度的教育资源，供广大受众学习；通过将科学资源重新用于教育用途，增加科学资源的价值；链接生命科学和物理科学的材料和资源；并有助于发展广泛适用于NSDL的信息系统（例如外链）。

DERMEED-1 is a definitive and expanding educational resource providing expert information about microorganisms for a diverse community of educators and students. Its scope covers microbial evolution, diversity and ecology and life in extreme environments. This collaborative project (Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory and Montana State University) draws together researchers with strong and previously independent track records in developing web-mediated educational resources, and it fills an important niche in the NSDL, bridging the fields of molecular biology, genomics, microbial ecology, and Earth system science. In addition, it addresses curricular needs for instructional resources in these areas as well as the public's interest in the diversity and occurrences of life in all its forms. The portal is served by the Bay Paul Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, and builds on earlier contributions as part of the NASA Astrobiology Institute. DERMEED-1 is aggregating and disseminating collections of images, data, scientific contributions from related projects (e.g. micro*scope, Tree of Life), and making available the Taxonomic Name Server - a mechanism to handle taxonomic metadata - through the NSDL network. In addition, thematic collections of instructional materials are being developed, using DLESE cataloging practices, as an educational overlay to these databases. These resources augment curriculum requirements from K-16 and serve the needs of public outreach organizations (museums, national parks), or those committed to life-long learning. Selection of instructional resources is being driven by pedagogic best practices that provide resources to meet the needs of the community of users. The co-development of collections of scientific resources (images, data) and instructional resources (thematic collections) is significantly addressing NSF's goal of integration of research and education. DERMEED-1 provides educational resources along many dimensions of microbiology for learning by many audiences; adds value to scientific resources by repurposing them for educational use; links materials and resources across the life and physical sciences; and contributes to the development of information systems (e.g outlinking) that are broadly applicable in the NSDL.
