Expanding the use of Remote Scientific Instrumentation within the Curriculum: Continued Development of the Integrated Laboratory Network

化学(12)综合实验室网络通过使用基于网络的技术，随时随地提供科学仪器和辅助教学材料。该倡议汇集了若干中学和中学后学校，通过综合实验室网络联盟扩大和加强远程仪器在课程中的使用。ILNC开发和测试机构有效共享和使用远程仪器进行各种课堂、实验室和研究活动所需的基于网络的工具。国际劳工组织全国委员会还制定了机构有效提供和使用国际劳工组织资源所必需的自给自足的业务模式。这个项目的智力价值在于学生、教职员工和研究人员从整个课程中广泛使用仪器获得的好处。在传统的课堂和实验室时间框架之外接触仪器，为更多的学生提供了更好的科学仪器操作培训，扩大了学生参与真实科学活动的机会，并促进和使该项目产生广泛影响。该项目为许多机构提供了获得仪器的途径，否则这些仪器将是昂贵的、昂贵的和难以维护的。这些福利惠及从公立高中、部落学院、社区学院、学院和大学等各类机构。

Chemistry (12) The Integrated Laboratory Network (ILN) provides anytime and anyplace access to scientific instrumentation and supporting instructional materials through the use of web-based technologies. The initiative brings together a number of secondary and post-secondary schools to expand and enhance the use of remote instrumentation within the curriculum through the Integrated Laboratory Network Consortium (ILNC). The ILNC develops and tests the web-based tools necessary for institutions to effectively share and use remote instrumentation for a variety of classroom, laboratory, and research activities. The ILNC also has developed a self sustaining business model necessary for institutions to effectively provide and use ILN resources. The intellectual merit of this project lies in benefits gained by students, faculty, and researchers from the expanded use of instrumentation throughout the curriculum. Access to instrumentation outside the traditional classroom and laboratory timeframe provides better training for more students in the operation of scientific instruments, expands opportunities for students to participate in authentic scientific activities, and promotes and enables the project to have broad impact. The project provides many institutions with access to instruments that would otherwise be expensive to acquire and costly and difficult to maintain. These benefits accrue to institutions ranging from public high schools, tribal colleges, community colleges, colleges and universities.
