This collaborative project is creating case-based, web-enabled educational hydrology modules that encapsulate real-world hydrologic systems. This project expands on the results of a Type I CCLI pilot study and grounds the learning experiences using three large-scale natural hydrologic systems (Coastal Louisiana, the Florida Everglades, and the Great Salt Lake Basin in Utah).Intellectual Merit: The project leverages recent research advances on monitoring and modeling of complex natural systems and synthesizes them to develop a suite of flexible, adaptable web-based modules. The selected natural systems, each presenting some unique concepts and physical settings, contribute to redefining the teaching of hydrology by focusing on the dynamics of fundamental hydrologic processes and their connections to climate drivers, ecosystems' response, and water resources operational constraints. An extensive set of interactive learning modules is being built into the system and is supported by an instructional interface, an instructor's guide, and a set of implementation and adaptation procedures. The project adopts an improvement-focused evaluation model with an iterative design process which includes multiple iterations of design, implementation, evaluation, and redesign. Broader Impacts: To facilitate wide dissemination and adaptability, the system is being implemented using open source geospatial web technologies and community-based tools for data publication and analysis. The architecture of the system supports the addition of future hydrologic applications developed by other members of the hydrologic educational community. The participating institutions include a primarily African American institution, a college for women, a primarily Hispanic institution, and a minority high school. Through a design-based research approach, the project is identifying and implementing successful strategies so that the innovations can be scaled and adapted in diverse settings.

这个协作项目正在创建基于案例的，具有网络的教育水文学模块，该模块封装了现实世界的水文系统。 This project expands on the results of a Type I CCLI pilot study and grounds the learning experiences using three large-scale natural hydrologic systems (Coastal Louisiana, the Florida Everglades, and the Great Salt Lake Basin in Utah).Intellectual Merit: The project leverages recent research advances on monitoring and modeling of complex natural systems and synthesizes them to develop a suite of flexible, adaptable web-based modules.所选的自然系统，每个系统都提出了一些独特的概念和物理环境，从而通过关注基本水文过程的动态及其与气候驱动因素的联系，生态系统的反应以及水资源的运行约束来重新定义水文学的教学。 系统内置了一组广泛的交互式学习模块，并由教学接口，指导指南以及一组实现和适应过程支持。该项目采用以改进的评估模型，具有迭代设计过程，其中包括设计，实施，评估和重新设计的多次迭代。更广泛的影响：为了促进广泛的传播和适应性，正在使用开源地理空间技术和基于社区的数据出版和分析的工具来实施该系统。该系统的体系结构支持了由水文教育社区其他成员开发的未来水文应用。 参与的机构包括主要是非裔美国人机构，一所妇女学院，主要是西班牙裔机构和少数族裔高中。通过基于设计的研究方法，该项目正在识别和实施成功的策略，以便可以在不同的环境中缩放和适应创新。
