ABSTRACT:: 

Much science course material used in higher education -- and certainly
most in K-12 -- is stable enough, we believe, that anywhere from 50%
to 90% could be reused across years of course offerings, across faculty
within a department, and across universities. Obstacles to reuse include
the many methods of course delivery and of storing content. Collaborative
resource discovery has been identified as a valuable component of
active learning and as being appropriate for many science courses.
Obstacles to successful collaboration include the lack of simple tools
that could be used spontaneously. Obstacles to resource discovery are
the lack of structured repositories, cataloging and publishing tools on
the web. Search engines produce too many hits and provide no qualitative
evaluation of the resources discovered. Domain specific libraries exist
that solve this problem but there are simply too many diverse libraries
with no unified access. Our vision toward solving these problems is
of flexible, extensible digital course objects that are persistent,
ubiquitously accessible, and come with a teacher ``seal of approval''. We
propose development of an Undergraduate Digital Library Framework
(UDLF) and a reference implementation to support an undergraduate
Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education (SMETE)
digital library.

<p>

The proposed research builds on three ongoing projects of the
digital library research group at ODU.  The NCSTRL+ project and the
Interoperability project  provide the core technologies for UDLF and the
TechEd project will provide content. The TechEd initiative, funded by
the State of Virginia, will offer an entire undergraduate program using
technology-based distance learning methods to realize an active-learning
paradigm. NASA is funding the development of NCSTRL+, which will provide
the ability to classify material and associate appropriate terms and
conditions (e.g., who can access what) with parts of the material. The
Interoperability project strives to integrate existing digital libraries
by developing XML  specifications of the external behavior of existing
libraries and an engine that can use these specifications to provide
a transparent interface to the user, giving the user access to all
included libraries.

This bucket is a collection of reports, software, notes and data resulting
from the NSF Award 9816026 Planning Grant for the Use of Digital Libraries
in Undergraduate Learning in Science, which runs the duration of 10/1/1998
to 9/30/1999. The contents of this bucket will undergo periodic revision.
