Collaborative Project: ChemEd Digital Library: An NSDL Pathway for Chemical Sciences Education

化学教育数字图书馆（ChemEd DLib）是美国化学学会（世界上最大的科学学会）和化学教育杂志（世界上首屈一指的化学科学教育期刊）的联合项目，旨在通过国家科学数字图书馆提供化学教育资源。ChemEd DLib收集数字资源，增强化学科学的教学和学习，并将其放在互联网上供大学教师，大学预科教师，家长，家庭教育者，学生和公众使用。通过吸引科学领域的学生，这些资源正在改善美国的科学和技术，提高我们的全球竞争力。添加到集合中的每个项目都根据其主题、教学方法、课程水平以及与Web用户交互的模式进行分类。ChemEd DLib使每个人都可以轻松找到适用于其特定需求的资源。该界面的一个创新部分使用教科书的目录来查找资源。ChemEd DLib中收集的材料由教学法和内容方面的专家进行评估，并有效地使用网络来支持学习。ChemEd DLib正在发展志愿者社区，这些社区集中在有机或物理化学等主题领域，教学方法，如基于探究的学习，以及高中或两年制大学等课程水平。这些社区协助评估和传播这些材料，并将在项目结束后继续编写新材料。

The Chemical Education Digital Library (ChemEd DLib) is a joint project of the American Chemical Society (the world's largest scientific society) and the Journal of Chemical Education (the world's premier education journal in chemical sciences) to provide a pathway to chemistry educational resources through the National Science Digital Library. The ChemEd DLib collects digital resources that enhance teaching and learning of chemical science and makes them available on the Internet for use by college faculty, pre-college teachers, parents, home schoolers, students, and the general public. By interesting students in science, these resources are improving science and technology in the U.S. and enhancing our global competitiveness. Each item added to the collection is categorized according to its subject matter, its approach to teaching and learning, its level in the curriculum, and its mode of interacting with users of the Web. The ChemEd DLib makes it easy for everyone to find resources applicable to their specific needs. An innovative part of the interface uses tables of contents of textbooks to locate resources. Materials collected in the ChemEd DLib are evaluated by experts in pedagogy and content and use the Web effectively to support learning. The ChemEd DLib is developing communities of volunteers centered on subject-matter areas such as organic or physical chemistry, on pedagogical approaches such as inquiry-based learning, and on levels ofthe curriculum such as high school or two-year college. These communities aid evaluation and dissemination of the materials and will continue development of new materials after the project ends.
