- The Galaxy Curriculum is an impressive collection of tools (software, lesson plans, tutorials, models and more) with the following purpose:
By presenting Modeling And Simulation Technologies for Education Reform (MASTER) in conjunction with Hands-On Universe (HOU), we put this new technology in the hands of teachers and students. Using support materials available on the World Wide Web and an exciting new collaboration tool called Collaborative and Multimedia Interactive Learning Environment (CaMILE), teachers and students can learn about galaxy formation while using the same types of tools, techniques, and technologies that scientists and engineers are now using as an integral part of their everyday work.
- Shodor is also a partner with NCSA in the BRIDGE project, which explores new ways to integrate curriculum with interactive media.
