SGER: Lifelong Learning and the Wireless Internet

SGER：终身学习与无线互联网摘要-0527380DR。亚利桑那大学的Christopher Impey将利用这一探索研究小额赠款(SGER)奖来探索使用手持设备和无线网络进行学习的潜力。手持网络设备的功能日益强大，使得视频和图形应用程序的使用成为可能，这些应用程序有望改变美国民众的生活和习惯，特别是精通媒体的年轻人。这个SGER项目的目标是为手持网络创建两套学习应用程序的原型，一套是为大学非理科专业的学生设计的，另一套是为普通公众设计的。这项工作的主题是天文学，但这些工具适用于任何科学学科，也适用于非科学学科。

SGER: Lifelong Learning and the Wireless Internet ABSTRACTAST-0527380Dr. Christopher Impey, at the University of Arizona, will use this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) award to explore the potential for learning with handheld devices and wireless networks. The increasing power of handheld web devices enables the use of video and graphical applications that promise to transform the lives and habits of the U.S. population, particularly media savvy youth. The goal of this SGER project is to create prototypes of two sets of learning applications for the handheld web, one for college non-science majors and the other designed for the general public. The subject of this effort focuses on astronomy, but the tools are adaptable to any scientific subject, and non-science subjects as well.
