9752985 This project will result in a set of high-quality, interactive learning tools for organic chemistry. It has three main components: the designing and writing interactive materials for the EMOC website, developing tools for facilitating alternative methods of assessment, and evaluating existing and future materials as they become available on the EMOC website. The materials are being developed using hypertext markup language (HTML) with interactivity provided by common gateway interface (CGI) scripts written in the Perl scripting language. Database interface tools will be developed for the Oracle Database Server using the OraPerl add-on's to Perl. This combination of technologies provides flexibility while serving the intended audience through commonly available software interfaces. Evaluation will be highly interactive and consist of free- response student surveys as well as individual interviews and focus group meetings. Student attitude towards both the interactive technologies and the learning impact of the materials will be surveyed. The development of interactive database tools removes the 'bookkeeping' related with authentic, process-oriented assessment of large introductory undergraduate courses. This project advanced the development of learning environments for undergraduate organic chemistry courses involving large numbers of students.

9752985该项目将为有机化学提供一系列高质量的交互式学习工具。 它具有三个主要组成部分：为EMOC网站的设计和编写交互式材料，开发用于促进替代评估方法的工具，并在EMOC网站上获得现有材料和未来材料的评估。 这些材料是使用超文本标记语言（HTML）开发的，其交互性由通用网关接口（CGI）脚本提供的交互性，以Perl脚本语言编写。 将使用Oraperl附加组件到Perl为Oracle数据库服务器开发数据库接口工具。 这种技术组合提供了灵活性，同时通过常见的软件界面为预期的受众提供服务。 评估将是高度互动的，包括自由响应的学生调查以及个人访谈和焦点小组会议。 学生对互动技术和材料的学习影响的态度将得到调查。 交互式数据库工具的开发删除了与大型入门本科课程的真实，面向过程的评估有关的“簿记”。 该项目推动了针对本科有机化学课程的学习环境的发展，涉及大量学生。
