Development of E-Learning Modules for Analytical Chemistry

20所公立和私立授予博士学位的机构（主要是本科生和少数人服务的机构）的教职员工正在开发和实施化学测量和仪器科学本科教育的课程材料。这包括三所历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和一所西班牙裔服务机构（HIS）。材料是基于调查和问题的模块测量技术和方法。在更大的科学问题或问题的背景下使用测量技术和方法的综合上下文模块也正在开发中。模块被设计成以各种形式使用（例如，课堂活动、家庭作业、实验室项目），并根据教师或机构的特殊需要进行修改。许多材料被设计为由学生在小组中进行互动。参与该项目的院校正在扩大和改善教师的教学专长和学生的学习成果。每年有900多名学生受益于培养他们解决问题、独立工作和批判性思考的能力。正在为hbcu和hsi的教员举办一个讲习班，以发展教员在使用基于查询的电子资源方面的专门知识，并促进项目开发小组以外的材料的利用。在这个项目中开发的材料正在通过nsf资助的分析科学数字图书馆（ASDL）传播，http://www.asdlib.org/，这是一个开放获取，同行评审和注释的化学测量和仪器电子资源的集合，供分析科学的学生，教师和从业者使用。

Curricular materials for undergraduate education in chemical measurement and instrumentation science are being developed and implemented by faculty members at 20 public and private doctoral-granting, predominantly undergraduate, and minority-serving institutions. This includes three historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and one hispanic-serving institution (HIS). The materials are inquiry- and problem-based modules on measurement techniques and methods. Integrative contextual modules that use measurement techniques and methods in the context of a larger scientific question or problem are being developed as well. Modules are designed to be used in a variety of formats (e.g., classroom activity, homework assignment, laboratory project) and modified to suit the particular needs of an instructor or institution. Many of the materials are designed to be undertaken by students working interactively in small groups. Faculty teaching expertise and student-learning outcomes are being expanded and improved at the institutions involved in this project. Over 900 students a year benefit by developing their ability to solve problems, work independently, and think critically. A workshop is being offered for faculty members at HBCUs and HSIs to develop faculty expertise in the use of the inquiry-based electronic resources and promote the utilization of the materials outside the project development team. The materials developed in this project are being disseminated through the NSF-funded Analytical Sciences Digital Library (ASDL), http://www.asdlib.org/, an open-access, peer-reviewed and annotated collection of electronic resources on chemical measurements and instrumentation for students, instructors, and practitioners of the analytical sciences.
