Chemistry (12) The project is developing a prototype for a multimedia disc (DVD,CD) that is allowing students in physical chemistry to see the practical, experimental applications of the concepts they are learning in the lecture course. This upper-division course is traditionally very abstract and mathematically oriented. The multimedia supplement is helping students to make a connection between the symbolic and theoretical material and how those concepts are put into practice. In lower level chemistry courses it is often possible for an instructor to carry out classroom demonstrations but in physical chemistry this is much more difficult. The proposed multimedia companion for physical chemistry is allowing instructors to demonstrate phenomena using graphics, animations, video and interactive activities of real instruments and showcase research currently being conducted in the field of physical chemistry. The Physical Chemistry in Practice (PCIP) digital videodisc (DVD) is a multimedia resource for both instructors and students. The DVD contains several 'programs', which are tied to traditional physical chemistry topics. Each program consists of 1) Description: An interactive description of an apparatus or experiment that illustrates a particular Physical Chemistry topic. The interactive description has photos, drawings of internal parts, computer animations and text/narrated discussions of the device 2) Video Tour: A videotaped tour of the apparatus or experiment that includes a brief interview with an expert in the field describing the device and its application. Video footage of the instrument in use and the collection of typical data follow the interview 3) Interactive Data: Typical data from the apparatus or experiment is being used in a tutorial program in which students can interpret, manipulate and analyze the information. The prototype DVD contains two complete programs. One illustrates the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in determining certain thermodynamic properties of polymers; the other describes the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The prototype project is also resulting in a complete list of programs for the full-development DVD and a description of the traditional physical chemistry course topics to which these programs correspond.

化学 (12) 该项目正在开发多媒体光盘（DVD、CD）的原型，使物理化学专业的学生能够看到他们在讲座课程中学习的概念的实际实验应用。这门高级课程传统上非常抽象且以数学为导向。多媒体补充材料帮助学生在符号和理论材料之间建立联系，以及如何将这些概念付诸实践。在较低水平的化学课程中，教师通常可以进行课堂演示，但在物理化学课程中，这要困难得多。拟议的物理化学多媒体伴侣允许教师使用图形、动画、视频和真实仪器的交互活动来演示现象，并展示当前在物理化学领域进行的研究。物理化学实践 (PCIP) 数字视频光盘 (DVD) 是面向教师和学生的多媒体资源。 DVD 包含几个与传统物理化学主题相关的“程序”。每个程序包括 1) 描述：对设备或实验的交互式描述，说明特定的物理化学主题。交互式描述包含设备的照片、内部零件图、计算机动画和文本/旁白讨论 2) 视频导览：设备或实验的录像导览，包括对描述设备及其相关领域的专家的简短采访应用。采访后使用仪器的视频片段和典型数据的收集 3) 交互式数据：来自仪器或实验的典型数据正在教程程序中使用，学生可以在其中解释、操作和分析信息。原型 DVD 包含两个完整的程序。其中之一展示了原子力显微镜 (AFM) 在确定聚合物的某些热力学性质方面的应用；另一篇描述了表面增强拉曼光谱（SERS）的使用。原型项目还产生了完整开发 DVD 的完整程序列表以及这些程序对应的传统物理化学课程主题的描述。
