Hydrology and water resources engineering is an important subject area for undergraduate engineering students who pursue careers related to water management and water infrastructure, such as flood forecasting and flood protection. By developing a web-based platform (HydroLearn) to facilitate collaboration and sharing of online active-learning teaching resources, this project will change the way in which learning resources are developed and adopted. Using modern web technologies, HydroLearn will provide national and global access to materials that will enable faculty to collaboratively develop learning content in the area of water resources. HydroLearn will be a collaboration with the National Water Center and will use their National Water Model to provide students and faculty with innovative learning opportunities that address water problems with immediate community impacts. To disseminate the results at a national scale, investigators will collaborate with the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc., which represents more than 100 U.S. universities and organizations. Further, during this project, fellowships for faculty and early-career scientists will be provided to support the development and testing of the learning resources via engagement with the water resources engineering community.More specifically, this project has two main objectives: (1) to support hydrology and water resources engineering faculty to develop, share, and adopt active-learning innovations; and (2) to support effective student learning in key areas of hydrology and water resources engineering, focusing on flood analysis, modeling, forecasting and protection. Using an interactive process of development and propagation, the web-based platform (HydroLearn) that will be developed will showcase the following capabilities: (a) interoperability and integration with community hydrologic data and modeling resources; (b) flexibility in faculty users being able to create their own content modules; (c) creating material ownership via crowdsourcing of learning content using an open source approach to develop a sense of community; and (d) ease in teaching material adoption and customization. The project will contribute to closing the gap between development of innovations and actual adoption by following a design model that engages potential adopters at early stages and throughout the entire project using an active dissemination approach with direct feedback on adopters' needs to facilitate future utility and adoption.

水文和水资源工程是本科工程专业学生的重要学科领域，这些学生从事与水管理和水基础设施有关的职业，例如洪水预测和防洪。 通过开发一个基于Web的平台（Hydrolearn），以促进在线积极学习教学资源的协作和共享，该项目将改变开发和采用学习资源的方式。使用现代的Web技术，Hydrolearn将提供国家和全球访问材料的访问，这将使教师能够在水资源领域共同开发学习内容。 Hydrolearn将与国家水中心合作，并将使用其国家水模型为学生和教职员工提供创新的学习机会，以解决直接社区影响的水问题。为了在国家范围内传播结果，调查人员将与大学联盟合作，以促进水文科学公司的进步，该公司代表了100多个美国大学和组织。此外，在此项目中，将提供教师和早期职业科学家的奖学金，以通过与水资源工程社区的参与来支持和测试学习资源的发展和测试。更具体地说，该项目具有两个主要目标：（1）支持水文和水资源工程学院以开发，共享，共享和采用活跃的活跃创新； （2）支持水文和水资源工程关键领域的有效学生学习，重点是洪水分析，建模，预测和保护。利用开发和传播的交互式过程，将开发的基于Web的平台（Hydrolearn）将展示以下功能：（a）互操作性和与社区水文数据和建模资源的互操作性和集成； （b）能够创建自己的内容模块的教师用户的灵活性； （c）通过使用开源方法来发展社区意识，通过学习内容来创建物质所有权； （d）简化教材采用和定制。该项目将通过遵循一个设计模型，在早期阶段和整个项目中吸引潜在的采用者，并使用积极的传播方法，并直接反馈采用者的需求，从而促进未来的公用事业和采用，从而有助于缩小创新发展与实际采用之间的差距。
