| This project will create a Metacenter Regional Alliance between the
Cornell Theory Center,
the Northeast Parallel Applications Center
(NPAC), and the
Department of Physics at Syracuse
University, to develop interactive multimedia educational
modules incorporating advanced scientific simulations. These will
be integrated into undergraduate courses, and then into K-12
curricula, to enhance the teaching of general science courses.
We will combine leading-edge technologies in high-performance
computing and communications (HPCC), a high-speed network serving as
a testbed for the National Information Infrastructure (NII), and
advanced client/server technologies such as the World Wide Web (WWW),
VRML and Java, to produce and deliver these simulations and educational
modules.
This work was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
