Readorium will develop a desktop software to support students struggling with reading comprehension in middle school science. The software teaches readers the special features of nonfiction text and strategies for reading comprehension. The games will include an avatar to guide the student, multi-media articles of differing levels of difficulty that are aligned to standards, and embedded assessmen ...

The goal of the Curriculum Solutions for Instruction in Middle Mathematics (CSI-M2) Project is to improve mathematics understanding and performance of students in the middle grades by developing and providing Education Data Management System (EDMS) software. The software will generate an individual education plan for each student based on a large test item database constructed by using objectives ...

The Anautics CourseBook Project will address three national critical issues in mathematics education the need to support standards based instruction, the need to raise student achievement scores through effective teaching, the need for instruction management through electronic curriculum guidance, assessment and collaboration.

THERE CURRENTLY EXISTS NO ECONOMICALLY PRACTICAL REAL-TIME CAPTIONING DEVICES OR METHODS WHICH CAN PROVIDE A SPEEDY AND ACCURATE REPRODUCTION OF SPEECH-TO-TEXT TRANSLATION IN THE CLASSROOM. THE INTEGRATION OF SPEECH RECOGNITION WITH REAL- TIME CAPTIONING HOLDS THE PROMISE OF PROVIDING A TRANSPARENT INTERFACE BETWEEN THE SPEAKER AND THE AUDIENCE. TN THIS PHASE I RESEARCH, WE WILL CONDUCT AN INVESTI ...

Not Available TACAN proposes a novel low voltage, low cost, high performance 130 GHz continuous bandwidth EO modulator architecture that uses a balanced two section modulator, one for input RF up to 65 GHz, and the other section for 65 -130 GHz, using currently available V connectors and no metal waveguides. We further propose to fabricate two such external laser modulators to integrate into a du ...

Not Available Minimization of power consumption in electronics is a key requirement as spacecraft shrink in size. Semiconductor industry trends are leading power levels, lower, but not quickly enough to meet the needs of advanced missions or the new generation of broad-band communications satellites. Commercial electronics, while trending to lower power levels, do not include mechanisms to mitiga ...

WE PROPOSE TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF A USER-FRIENDLY AND COST-EFFECTIVE COURSEWARE AUTHORING AND DELIVERING SYSTEM FOR CHINESE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION. THE SYSTEM'S INTERFACE WITH COURSEWARE AUTHORS IS SUPPORTED BY POWERFUL YET CONVENIENT FEATURES LIKE WINDOW SCREEN, MOUSE-MOVED CURSOR, AND MENU-DRIVEN COMMANDS. THE AUTHORS CAN USE THE SYSTEM WITHOUT THE NEED TO KNOW OR REMEMBER ANY PROGRAMMING O ...
