Abstract

The goal of the Digital Chemistry Project at UC Berkeley is to create a model for how technology can be used to (a) introduce interactivity into large lecture classes, (b) offer customized, web-based learning materials to students outside of the classroom, and (c) provide immediate feedback on students' understanding of targeted instructional concepts. Two products, PRISM and LOTIS, and their interrelated design processes are described in this paper. PRISM (Presentation and Interaction with Streaming media) automates the creation of online learning materials by integrating streaming digital video, wireless concept testing, an annotation system, and face-to-face peer interaction. LOTIS (the Learning Object Tagging and Information System) catalogues and packages instructional resources using a combination of intelligent agents and customized metadata templates. The result is a model for dynamic content creation that lays the foundation for design improvements based on students' access to and interaction with instructional materials.
