This project is creating a new instructional strategy and new learning materials using data- and modeling-based modules that are enabling undergraduate students to better understand cause-effect relationships, form and test hypotheses, and learn how to integrate the latest tools for better understanding of hydrologic theory and processes. Collaborators at two research universities, a liberal arts college, and Chandler/Gilbert Community College are developing and testing the educational modules, and an editorial board comprising geosciences and engineering faculty from around the USA is supervising module development and formative evaluation. The project is creating an organized community of practice to develop, share, and publish data- and modeling-driven hydrology educational modules made available through the Science Education Research Center (SERC) website. This project is using a structured process of collaborative community curriculum development to bring together a core user community and design a system to meet the needs of a broad range of hydrology educators. It is rigorously assessing the effectiveness of the technology on students' learning outcomes by comparing traditional lecture-based instruction with data- and modeling-driven instruction designed to enhance hydrologic learning among students. This project is achieving a broad impact by piloting a model of community development, evaluation, and dissemination of hydrologic cyberlearning modules.

该项目正在使用基于数据和建模的模块来创建一种新的教学策略和新的学习材料，这些模块使本科生能够更好地了解因果关系，形成和检验假设，并学习如何整合最新工具以更好地了解水文理论和过程。两所研究大学的合作者，一所文科学院和钱德勒/吉尔伯特社区学院正在开发和测试教育模块，以及由美国各地的地理科学和工程教师组成的编辑委员会是监督模块发展和形成性评估。该项目正在创建一个有组织的实践社区，以开发，共享和发布通过科学教育研究中心（SERC）网站提供的数据和建模驱动的水文学教育模块。该项目正在使用协作社区课程开发的结构化过程，将核心用户社区组合在一起，并设计一个系统，以满足各种水文学教育者的需求。它通过将基于传统的讲座的教学与数据和建模驱动的教学进行比较，旨在增强学生之间的水文学习，从而严格评估技术对学生学习成果的有效性。该项目通过试行社区发展，评估和传播水文网络学习模块的模型来实现广泛的影响。
