USING AN ALTO SAXOPHONE WE WILL DESIGN A BRACKET AND A FRAME SYSTEM UPON WHICH WILL BE MOUNTED A SERIES OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SOLENOIDS. THE SOLENOIDS WILL BE MOUNTED OVER THE KEYS ON HALF OF THE SAXOPHONE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE KEYS INDIVIDUALLY OR IN GROUPS. THE SOLENOIDS WILL BE CONNECTED TO AND ACTIVATED BY A MECHANISM SIMILAR TO A JOYSTICK FROM A VIDEO GAME. ONLY SIX OF THE TERMIN ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop an evidence-based approach to maximize learning for K-12 students and predict learning outcomes. We propose to analyze data at multiple levels, including individual and group assessment data, and characteristics of the student, teacher, principal, and school. Using this data, we will categorize performance levels, determine the strengths and weaknesses of t ...

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.

FUNCTIONAL ILLITERACY MEANS BEING UNABLE TO ADDRESS AND MAILA LETTER OR TO RECEIVE CHANGE AND A RECEIPT AND DETERMINE THAT IS CORRECT. IT MEANS BEING UNABLE TO READ AND UNDER- STAND A CLASSIFIED AD, TO USE A ROAD MAP CORRECTLY, AND TO READ STREET SIGNS. FUNCTIONAL ILLITERACY IS THE INABILITY TO COMPUTE THAT ONE'S PAYCHECK IS CORRECT AND IN MANY CASES FUNCTIONAL ILLITERACY CAUSES ON NOT TO BE ABLE ...

The overall goal is to develop a Virtual Learning LaunchPad prototype and to compare the learning by students viewing this prototype with a traditional video lecture. The Virtual Learning LaunchPad will merge six delivery methods to greatly compress delivery time of a complex concept in reproductive science. The technologies incorporated will be: 3-dimensional anatomical reconstructions, step-an ...
