Science Collaboratory: Open Participatory Learning Infrastructure for Education (SCOPE)

生物科学（61）科学合作实验室：开放式教学基础设施的教育（范围）项目正在与生物教师的两个群体密切合作，创建，实施和评估教师专业发展的新方法，通过使用在线问题空间将现有的电子科学资源与基于网络的协作生产力工具相结合。问题空间包含：1）开放研究问题的集合，2）数据集和分析工具，3）教师生成的课程资源，4）参考和链接到背景材料，和5）学生工作的例子。问题空间与开放教育资源（OER）共享资源一起运作，为大型用户社区提供一个互动和构建共享知识库的平台。问题空间被明确地设计为在包括微生物学、环境科学和解剖生理学的生物学入门课程中有用。教师们正在参加与埃默里大学科学教育中心和圣地亚哥超级计算中心合作举办的研讨会。研讨会的参与者，然后继续在一个为期一年的技术支持的远程合作，包括课程开发，实施和修订周期系列。SCOPE项目正在开发10个问题空间，将教师对这些空间的使用与教学学术联系起来，并调查学生对问题空间的使用，以评估这一活动如何提高学生的学习和解决问题的能力。两个重要的设计特征确保该项目的成果超出了直接参与的教师。首先，在开放教育资源倡议和知识共享许可证制度下工作，确保整个SCOPE项目课程集合可供他人采用和改编。此外，BioQUEST课程联盟正在永久维护这些合作课程中心，并提供许多机会邀请其他人参与。

Biological Sciences (61)The Science Collaboratory: Open Participatory Learning Infrastructure for Education (SCOPE) project is working intensively with two cohorts of biology faculty to create, implement and assess a novel approach to faculty professional development by using online Problem Spaces to integrate existing e-science resources with collaborative web-based productivity tools. Problem Spaces contain: 1) collections of open research questions, 2) datasets and analytical tools, 3) faculty-generated curricular resources, 4) references and links to background material, and 5) examples of student work. Problem Spaces are operated in conjunction with Open Educational Resources (OER) Commons to provide a large community of users a platform for interacting and building a shared knowledge base. The Problem Spaces are explicitly designed to be useful in introductory biology courses including microbiology, environmental science, and anatomy & physiology. Faculty are participating in workshops held in cooperation with the Center for Science Education at Emory University and the San Diego Supercomputing Center. Workshop participants then continue in a year-long series of technology supported distance collaborations including curriculum development, implementation, and revision cycles. The SCOPE project is developing 10 problem spaces, connecting faculty use of these spaces with the scholarship of teaching, and investigating student use of Problem Spaces to assess how this activity enhances student learning and problem solving skills.Two important design features ensure that the outcomes of this project reach beyond those faculty who are directly involved. First, working under the Open Educational Resources Initiative and the Creative Commons license system ensures that the entire SCOPE Project curriculum collection is available for others to adopt and adapt. Additionally, the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium is maintaining these collaborative curriculum centers in perpetuity and affords many opportunities to invite others to participate.
