Home Current Issue ... Search Collaborative Classrooms By Richard Goldsworthy Technology coordinator Richard Goldsworthy discusses key elements of effective collaborative and cooperative learning, provides specific strategies for increasing the effectiveness of collaborative groups, and offers several online resources for beginning electronic collaborative projects. These students are involved in a collaborative activity with five other classrooms around the country. They begin each class by gathering such meteorological data from their area as rainfall amount, temperature, and wind direction and approximate velocity. This information is sent to each of the other five teams. They are responsible for reporting the data to the other teams before the end of the day, and they expect to receive the data from each of the other teams by the next morning. When the students receive the information from their peers, they enter it into the database they designed themselves. This database allows them to track changes in the weather across time and location and begin to observe weather patterns across the country. In this case, the group also has a map that may be written on with dry-erase markers, and they post the weather information as it comes in.

The University of Wales, Bangor and in particular the School of Informatics (SOI) are very proud of their reputation for establishing and maintaining academic/industrial partnerships. These links range from industrially-sponsored graduate/post-graduate/post-doctoral research to the Teaching Company Scheme (Bangor was recently placed 9th out of 95 UK universities and colleges involved in the TCS).
IDB's own full-time graduate and Ph.D. qualified staff have no teaching commitments and are therefore able to commit 100% to a project. This allows the company to offer the services of research-experienced staff on projects which are tied to tight deadlines. Where relevant, IDB can quickly call upon academic expertise and a wide range of specialist equipment. The innovative nature of the company's work is reflected in the range of publications Research Activities

Student Internships
Connie Pagedas, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering at Princeton University, describes her experience working as a student summer intern in NASA's microgravity program at Lewis Research Center (LeRC) in Cleveland, Ohio, as "intense but thoroughly fulfilling." Pagedas adds, "Once the basic principles of the task were explained, I was trusted to run experiments and make necessary adjustments, and then analyze the data and present the results to our branch by the end of my internship. I found that I was constantly challenged." Gail Jefferson, of Ohio State University, pictured
with her mentor Ray Skarda, of LeRC's fluid
physics branch, used commercial Computational
Fluid Dynamics software to perform simulations
of free surface flows during her internship. In addition to assisting with laboratory research, participants in the NCMR program worked on various educational products to promote science, math, and microgravity concepts. NCMR interns developed a presentation titled "What Is Microgravity," which will be used in classrooms by scientists and teachers to explain the value of microgravity as a unique research tool in the study of various scientific disciplines. NCMR interns also created a comprehensive glossary of microgravity terms and concepts, which will be made available to teachers through NASA's Educator Resource Centers. At the end of the summer, all LeRC interns gave presentations about their projects at an annual symposium hosted by LERCIP.

Topical Teams in ESA's Microgravity Programme: Invitation to Submit Proposals for Topical Teams in Physical Sciences
H.U. Walter
ESA, Paris, France
Recently, ESA's Microgravity Advisory Committee (MAC) has made an analysis of research accomplishments of the past and has made recommendations on the research topics to be given priority in the future. The MAC furthermore specifically recommended that Topical Teams (TT's) be instituted to foster European cooperation, to conduct pilot studies, to evaluate critical aspects of new scientific projects and - if necessary - to define facilities for the future. ESA is therefore soliciting proposals for TT s; these new working groups should be seen in the following context: See Microgravity News, Vol. 6, 3, Dec. 1993: Focused Sciences Interim Report: Focused Research in the Microgravity Programme Part 1: Physics, Materials, and Fluid Science and see ESA/PB-MG(94)16, rev. 2, November 1994: Focused Research in the Microgravity Programme . It should be noted that the recommendations by the MAC with regard to future research priorities are based, on the one hand, on past experience and the experiments approved for flight in the future; on the other hand, they are based on the proposals received in response to the call for proposals for COLUMBUS precursor flights in 1991/92. This call for proposals represents the latest and most complete survey of the European user community's interest and these proposals were subject to a careful peer evaluation.

Statement of Joseph H. Rothenberg Associate Administrator Office of Space Flight National Aeronautics and Space Administration Before the Committee on Science Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics United States House of Representatives February 25, 1998 Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, I am pleased to appear before the Subcommittee to discuss NASA’s vision of the role that the Human Exploration and Development of Space (HEDS) strategic enterprise will have in the future. I am eager to share with you the activities we are pursuing to increase the research capabilities of the International Space Station (ISS). As Mr. Goldin testified on February 5, 1998, the International Space Station program is moving forward with confidence toward launch of the stations’ initial Control Module, formerly the Functional Cargo Block, and the first node later this year. During 1999, we will begin performing research on the International Space Station. I am confident that we will find that this facility will provide us with unprecedented opportunities to conduct long-duration, on-orbit research. While on-orbit research capabilities are very constrained during the early Station assembly period, research capability performance for the completed Station continues to meet or exceed specifications. The Space Station program and the research offices represented today on this panel have made significant progress this year in the strategic and tactical research planning process. Dr. Nicogossian led the activities to develop the ISS Research Plan and the first 5-year strategic level utilization plan.
