| Abstract |
|
By employing a direct visual approach to learning, the Interactive Nano-Visualization in Science and Engineering Education (IN-VSEE) project endeavors to remove many of the conventional barriers that hinder effective teaching and learning by empowering learners with Internet access to revolutionary scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) that can image materials at resolutions down to the atomic scale. The objective of IN-VSEE is to integrate nanoscience and nanotechnology concepts into upper-division high school and lower-division college curricula. A unique Web-deliverable distance learning technology, SPM-Live!, empowers the learner with live remote control of a Nobel Prize-winning microscopy technique. Remote experiments are supported by interactive, multidisciplinary education modules that explore key fundamental and applied concepts of natural and manmade materials. Each module utilizes the latest technologies, such as Java applets, streaming video and animations, live chat, and image analysis software, to engage students. A diverse image gallery has also been created to serve as a materials visualization resource.
