Geology (42)This collaborative project is generating and testing a set of multidisciplinary course materials, called MARGINS Mini-Lessons, that repurpose the rich data and visualization resources that have been developed by projects supported through the NSF-MARGINS Program for use in introductory and upper level undergraduate courses. The Principal Investigators, all members of the MARGINS Steering Committee and/or the MARGINS Education/Outreach Advisory Committee, are engaging the MARGINS academic community in this effort through a MARGINS Education Mini-Workshop. There, participants gain insight into the current state of the four MARGINS Science Initiatives, and the varied data repositories and information resources housing MARGINS results. Workshop participants are identifying key content areas to address with Mini-Lessons, and are participating in their development and testing in concert with the Principal Investigators and the module assessment team. Several different varieties of MARGINS Mini Lessons are being developed, based on successful models, including 4-6 large-scale lessons. A resource and support team, comprising members from the MARGINS Education/Outreach Advisory Committee, is working with Mini-Lesson developers to ensure that the completed modules follow best educational practices and are effectively tested and assessed. Smaller-scale ideas arising from the workshop are being produced as shorter Mini-Lessons, and supported through standardized online assessment resources that instructors can use to test their effectiveness and report back results. The intellectual merit of this project lies in its mining of the extensive MARGINS data repository for interdisciplinary educational materials that will bring the realities of modern earth science into undergraduate courses. The broader impacts of this project lie in its efforts to build a broad-based educational community of MARGINS researchers and educators through the module development processes. The modules themselves are being used in a range of undergraduate geoscience courses on both two- and four-year college campuses, and are reaching diverse student audiences.

地质（42）该协作项目正在生成和测试一套称为Margins Mini-Lessons的多学科课程材料，这些课程将重新利用由NSF-Margins计划提供的项目开发的丰富数据和可视化资源，以用于入门和上层级别的本科生。 主要调查人员，保证金指导委员会和/或保证金教育/外展咨询委员会的所有成员，都通过Margins Education Mini-Workshop参与了这一努力的利润学术界。 在那里，参与者深入了解了四个保证金科学计划的当前状态，以及各种数据存储库和信息资源壳体范围的结果。 研讨会参与者正在确定与小陆的关键内容领域，并与主要研究人员和模块评估团队一起参加他们的开发和测试。基于成功的模型，包括4-6个大规模课程，正在开发几种不同的边距迷你课程。 由Margins教育/外展咨询委员会组成的资源和支持团队正在与Mini-Lesson开发人员合作，以确保完成的模块遵循最佳的教育实践，并有效地测试和评估。 研讨会引起的较小尺度的想法是作为较短的迷你群制作的，并通过标准化的在线评估资源来支持，教师可以使用这些资源来测试其有效性并报告结果。 该项目的智力优点在于它在跨学科教育材料的广泛利润数据存储库中开采，这将使现代地球科学的现实进入本科课程。 该项目的更广泛的影响在于其通过模块开发过程建立一个基于利润的研究人员和教育工作者的广泛教育社区的努力。 这些模块本身正在两年和四年制大学校园的一系列本科地球科学课程中使用，并吸引了多样化的学生受众。
