The Mathwright Library is a collection of interactive, electronic mathematics learning aids referred to as "books".
These books are documents created with a Windows mathematics authoring program called Mathwright. [AdCom]
SCALE, the Sloan Center for Asynchronous Learning Environments at the University of Illinois.
THE SCIENCE HOUSE, at NC State University. The Science House is the learning outreach center of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences of North Carolina State
University - a program to increase student enthusiasm for the sciences and mathematics. All Science House activities promote
hands-on, student-centered learning.
Center for Educational Leadership and Technology (CELT) is a non-profit educational service agency whose primary mission is to integrate technology with current education reforms and research.
The Institute for Academic Technology -- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. IAT is dedicated to the proposition that information technology can be a valuable tool for improving the quality of student learning, increasing access to education, and containing the costs of instruction.
Multimedia/Usability Laboratory at the University of Toronto carries out research concerning improvement of user interfaces for information systems. This research includes
design and testing of innovative multimedia environments, and usability testing of existing interfaces and systems.
Center for Innovation in Engineering Education -- Arizona State University. The mission of the Center is to promote and encourage visionary approaches to educating engineering students by supporting the research, development, and assessment of new educational paradigms, unique curricula, improved courses, and new delivery systems that embrace a range of learning models, alternative classroom management strategies, improved pedagogies, and advanced educational technologies.
The Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education at Penn State, strives to improve the quality and relevancy of the undergraduate student experience by: emphasizing design as an integrating force in the engineer curricula; promoting active learning; and developing communication and leadership as essential engineering skills.
NEEDS, the National Engineering Education Delivery System, is a multimedia courseware development and distribution system to support engineering education.
The Synthesis Coalition is a union of eight diverse institutions: California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, Cornell University, Hampton University, Iowa State University, Southern University, Stanford University, Tuskegee University, and the University of California at Berkeley. This group is funded by the National Science Foundation to design, implement and assess new approaches to undergraduate engineering education that emphasize multidisciplinary synthesis, teamwork and communication, hands-on and laboratory experiences, open-ended problem formulation and solving, and examples of "best practices" from industry.
EDUCAUSE CAUSE and Educom have become a new consolidated association to galvanize thought and action at the intersection of higher education and information technology. The new association, EDUCAUSE, was incorporated effective July 1, 1998, with offices in Washington, D.C. and Boulder, Colorado. EDUCAUSE will focus on the management and use of computational, network, and information resources in support of higher educations missions of scholarship, instruction, service, and administration.
TECHNOLOGY BASED LEARNING NETWORK CANADA is a network of centres of excellence. TBL.CA will address learner needs in homes, schools, museums, the workplace and universities. It will examine state-of-the-art applications of technologies from animation and multimedia to interactive networked communications and will develop systematic methods of evaluation for studying both the personal and the social impact of these innovations.
CoLoS (COnceptual Learning Of Science) is a consortium founded in 1988, initially composed of research teams of western European universities. The major goal of this consortium is to encourage and to coordinate the development of teaching methods so as to improve the knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts with a special focus on intuitive and qualitative approaches, more particulary in the scientific
and technical fields.
INTERACT The aim of the INTERACT project is to increase the use of simulations in engineering teaching. We have done this by building a system in which INTERACT simulations can be combined with the hypermedia of the World Wide Web to produce a interactive exploratory environment in which this new form of learning material can be used.
World Lecture Hall, contains links to pages created by faculty worldwide who are using the Web to deliver class materials.
SimScience, an alliance between Cornell and Syracuse to develop interactive multimedia educational modules incorporating advanced scientific simulations. These will be integrated into undergraduate courses, and then into K-12 curricula, to enhance the teaching of general science courses.
explorescience.com, the first shocked science lab on the WWW (growing since December 1995). This site will let both students and teachers interact with material on the web, rather than just reading text.
MegaMath from the University of Idaho and Los Alamos National Lab. The MegaMath project is intended to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary school classrooms so that young people and their teachers can think about them together.
