Interdisciplinary (99)This collaborative project implements an innovative, online and real-time course delivery system, Shared Presentation Virtual Space (SPVS). The SPVS technology is evaluated through expected measurable outcomes of improved student performance and increased student satisfaction. The team implements this technology into several different STEM courses in mathematics, biology, and computing. The project results in the creation of a virtual classroom world to enhance and enrich the learning experience of online education (OE) students, by creating real-time lectures and class discussions. This system contributes to the educational process for students and educators because it can be delivered via low-bandwidth to rural areas of the country. The SPVS classroom worlds used in this project comprise an emerging medium demonstrated in many areas already familiar to today's student (e.g., computer games, entertainment systems, and visualizations). The specific instructional goals for this project include the development of non-traditional online lectures. The project enhances and enriches the learning experience of both OE students (by creating real-time lecture and class discussion) and also students in Face-To-Face (FTF) classes (by creating archived lessons as a study aid and that allow students to make up lessons they might have missed). Intellectual Merit: The SPVS system is designed to create a suitable infrastructure supporting OE and FTF classes, while providing students with an environment resulting in an overall increase in student performance and satisfaction. Student performance improves when the learning environment allows students to see, hear, and interact with the instructor and other students, and to directly view educational information, such as notes written on a whiteboard. This environment also increases student participation in class, which helps increase motivation and satisfaction. Broader Impact: The SPVS system is accessible to instructors and to all students, especially economically disadvantaged students, because the SPVS system uses low bandwidth, requires no costly system enhancements, and does not involve steep learning curves for students or instructors.

跨学科（99）这个协作项目实现了创新，在线和实时课程交付系统，共享的演示虚拟空间（SPVS）。 SPVS技术通过预期的可衡量结果的学生表现和提高学生满意度来评估。该团队将这项技术实施到数学，生物学和计算的几个不同的STEM课程中。该项目通过创建实时的讲座和课堂讨论来创建虚拟课堂世界，以增强和丰富在线教育（OE）学生的学习经验。该系统为学生和教育工作者的教育过程做出了贡献，因为它可以通过低型宽宽到该国的农村地区进行。该项目中使用的SPVS课堂世界包括在当今学生已经熟悉的许多领域（例如，计算机游戏，娱乐系统和可视化）的新兴媒介。该项目的具体教学目标包括开发非传统的在线讲座。该项目增强并丰富了OE学生的学习经验（通过创建实时的讲座和课堂讨论）以及面对面的学生（FTF）课程（通过创建存档的课程作为学习辅助援助，并允许学生弥补他们可能错过的课程）。智力优点：SPVS系统旨在创建一个支持OE和FTF课程的合适基础架构，同时为学生提供环境，从而使学生的表现和满意度总体上升。当学习环境允许学生查看，听到和与其他学生互动并直接查看教育信息，例如在白板上写的笔记等教育信息时，学生表现会有所改善。这种环境还增加了学生参加课堂的参与，这有助于增加动力和满意度。更广泛的影响：教师和所有学生（尤其是经济上处于弱势群体的学生）都可以访问SPVS系统，因为SPVS系统使用较低的带宽，不需要昂贵的系统增强功能，并且不涉及学生或教练的陡峭学习曲线。
