Dynamic Digital Text: An Innovation in STEM Education
Funded by The National Science Foundations DRK-12 Program
This project aimed to design the next generation of digital STEM content for school and college level education— which we call a dynamic digital text— by radically rethinking content, organization, and interaction. We developed a theoretical framework for dynamic digital text with concept maps as the foundation for knowledge organization and navigation, embedded interactive exercises and visualizations for on-line assessments, and an inquiry-based science and computing pedagogy for teaching and learning in middle school and college classroom.
