ChemEd Digital Library Wikihyperglossary

化学（12）这个项目通过展示Web 2.0方法对化学教育的适用性来推进知识和实践，为化学教育数字图书馆（ChemEd DL），NSDL？化学Pathway结合JavaScript自动搜索（JAS）和异步JavaScript和XML（AJAX）创建维基超级词汇表（WHG）。此工具自动化了用户可以插入到数字文本文档或Web页面中的超链接的过程，这些超链接连接到由个人或社区创建或修改的词汇定义。超链接可以是文本材料，例如单词的定义，或者它们可以涉及多媒体，例如显示化学元素反应或分子的可操纵Jmol结构的视频。当用户阅读文档中连接到词汇表术语的单词或短语时，可以在不离开原始文档的情况下查看与该术语相关联的信息。Web范例及其成功显示了通过鼠标点击以文本以及图形、电影和音频格式访问信息的价值。从学生的角度来看，这些信息也需要吸引人和个性化。本研究所展示的方法增强了ChemEd DL的价值，并且可以很容易地扩展到其他Pathways和NSDL集合。该项目通过使学习更加方便和有效，为现有信息增值。教师能够快速，轻松地增强文本文档，包括链接到测试良好的网络资源，如那些化学教育DL。学生能够立即将他们正在阅读的文档与科学术语的定义联系起来（或将此类链接添加到自己的工作中）。努力解释科学文件的公众成员可能对公共政策的知情决策至关重要，通过添加WHG注释链接到解释文件中包含的概念的信息，可以更好地解释这些文件。那些开始在新的研究领域工作的人能够通过为新领域选择合适的词汇表和注释对理解该领域至关重要的研究论文来更快地跟上速度。那些与新研究生一起工作的人能够注释文档和研究论文，为新手提供更快速的访问。

Chemistry (12)This project advances knowledge and practice by demonstrating the applicability of Web 2.0 approaches to chemical education, adding significant value to the Chemical Education Digital Library (ChemEd DL), the NSDL?s chemistry Pathway. JavaScript Automated Search (JAS) and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) are combined to create a wikihyperglossary (WHG). This tool automates the process by which a user can insert into a digital text document or Web page hyperlinks connecting to glossary definitions that were created or modified by an individual or a community. Hyperlinks can be to textual material such as definitions of words, or they can involve multimedia such as videos showing reactions of the chemical elements or manipulable Jmol structures for molecules. When a user reads a word or phrase in a document that is connected to a glossary term, the information associated with the term can be viewed without leaving the original document. The Web paradigm and its success show the value of making information accessible by mouse click, in text as well as graphics, movie, and audio formats. From students' perspectives, this information needs to also be engaging and personalized. The methods demonstrated by this research enhance the value of the ChemEd DL and can be readily extended to other Pathways and NSDL collections.This project creates a means of adding value to existing information by making learning more convenient and efficient. Teachers are able to quickly and easily enhance text documents to include links to well tested Web resources such as those of the ChemEd DL. Students are able immediately to link documents they are reading with definitions of scientific terms (or add such links to their own work). Members of the public struggling to interpret scientific documents that may be crucial to informed decisions on public policy are much better able to interpret such documents by adding WHG annotation links to information that explains the concepts included in the documents. Those beginning work in new fields of research are able to get up to speed much more rapidly by choosing an appropriate glossary for the new field and annotating research papers that are essential to understanding the field. Those working with new graduate students are able to annotate documents and research papers to provide much more rapid access for neophytes.
