Learning through Collaborative Visualization
|
- Traditionally, K-12 science education has consisted of the teaching of well-established facts. This approach bears little or no resemblance to the question-centered, collaborative practice of realscientists. Through the use of advanced technologies, the CoVis Project at Northwestern University is attempting to transform science learning to better resemble the authentic practice ofscience.The CoVis Project will explore issues of scaling, diversity, and sustainability as they relate to theuse of networking technologies to enable high school students to work in collaboration with remotestudents, teachers, and scientists. An important outcome of this work will be the construction ofdistributed electronic communities dedicated to science learning.Participating students study atmospheric and environmental sciences through inquiry-basedactivities. Using state of the art scientific visualization software, specially modified to beappropriate to a learning environment, students have access to the same research tools and data setsused by leading-edge scientists in the field.The CoVis Project provides students with a range of collaboration and communication tools. Theseinclude: desktop video teleconferencing; shared software environments for remote, real-timecollaboration; access to the resources of the Internet; a multimedia scientist's "notebook"; andscientific visualization software. In addition to deploying new technology, we work closely withteachers at participating schools to develop new curricula and new pedagogical approaches that takeadvantage of project-enhanced science learning. Òƒollaborative VisualizationÓ thus refers todevelopment of scientific understanding which is mediated by scientific visualization tools in acollaborative context. The CoVis Project seeks to understand how science education could takebroad advantage of these capabilities, providing motivating experiences for students and teacherswith contemporary science tools and topics.The next decade will bring widespread, networked multimedia interpersonal computing. The CoVisProject is a blueprint to inform educators, researchers, and policy makers on the effective andsustainable use of interpersonal, collaborative media in science education.

The Interactive Patient
|
- Marshall University School of Medicine proudly announces the launch of "THE INTERACTIVE PATIENT" at "http://musom.marshall.edu/" on the World Wide Web. "The Interactive Patient" is a truly unique teaching program that allows physicians, residents and medical students to simulate an actual patient encounter over the World Wide Web. The user is presented with a chief complaint and is then encouraged to interact with the patient by asking history questions, performing a physical exam, ordering laboratory tests and x-ray exams. Finally, the user submits a diagnosis and a treatment plan which will be evaluated and detailed feedback will be provided. Continuous Medical Education Credit accreditation has been applied for. Marshall University School of Medicine offers to our knowledge the first truly interactive medical education tool that allows medical personnel to sharpen their clinical skills via the Internet. Multiple layers of the physical exam as well as a large database of questions that are supported for the patient history (more than 1500 currently and growing) as well as the multimedia aspect (graphic, text and sounds are supported) make "The Interactive Patient" an interesting learning tool.
