The Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement (IDEA.org) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization working in the area of scientific and cultural literacy. The organization was established in 1998 and incorporated in 2002, and has collaborated with museums, schools, nonprofit organizations, and public service projects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GuideStar Exchange Reports for Institute For Dynamic Education Advancement Inc )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ipl2: Information You Can Trust )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement )〕 ==Activities== * WebExhibits "virtual museum" – in 1999, IDEA founded the WebExhibits virtual museum, an interactive, virtual museum of science, humanities, and culture that uses information, virtual experiments, and hands-on activities that prompt visitors to think, to formulate questions, and to explore topics from a variety of angles. IDEA published research on exhibit design and usability, and advocated for the format as an effective approach to draw in visitors to complex, multidisciplinary topics. * SpicyNodes - is a presentation method for visually browsing hierarchical information, similar to concept mapping. Several implementations of SpicyNodes have been developed by IDEA, including a web-based version built on Adobe Flash which is available as a Software as a service web site with both free and paid versions; and as multitouch version for the iPad released in Spring 2011 as part of the "WikiNodes" app. The web-based implementation received a "Best Website for Teaching and Learning" award in 2011 from American Association of School Librarians (AASL),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Best Websites for Teaching & Learning 2013 )〕 and was voted #edchat's 35 Best Web 2.0 Classroom Tools in 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 35 Best Web 2.0 Classroom Tools Chosen By You )〕 It has been a subject of instruction in several schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Winter 2010 -- ECS272 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gordon Library: Ask Us - WPI )〕〔http://innovations.oise.utoronto.ca/edtech/index.php/Spicynodes〕〔 http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/spicynodes-visualize-and-organize.html〕〔 http://mashe.hawksey.info/2010/11/entice-with-a-bit-of-spice-spicynodes-mind-mapping-and-visualisation-tool/〕〔http://teachnologist.info/?p=632〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Teachers' Tech Lounge » Blog Archive » Spicy Nodes Online Graphic Organizer )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=404, University of Cincinnati, located in Cincinnati, Ohio., University of Cincinnati )〕 The product is used in a broad number of disciplines,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spicynodes )〕 and has an open API,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spicynodes )〕 allowing developers to use it for visualization tasks as well as to create mashups.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spicynodes : Create a Mashup Between SpicyNodes and Google Maps )〕 * WikiNodes - is an app for the Apple iPad which uses the SpicyNodes visualization method. It is the first tablet app for browsing Wikipedia using a radial tree approach to visualize how articles and subsections of articles are interrelated. (Wikipedia's 'The Signpost', 13 June 2011) * ColoRotate - is a project started in January 2006 to explain to the public, students, and graphic professionals the three-dimensional nature of color vision in the eye and mind. It is related to the color-related exhibits in the WebExhibit museum. It consists of a 3D color space within which users can see color points, and manipulate them. There are several implementations of the ColoRotate approach, including a free web site, a Photoshop plugin, a web widget, and an iPad app.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ColoRotate )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Engadget - Technology News, Advice and Features )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ColoRotate.org )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ColoRotate, a colour picker based on human perception of colours )〕〔magazine.

APPLICATIONS OF MATHEMATICS IN ENGINEERING AND ECONOMICS: Proceedings of the 34th Conference on Applications of Mathematics in Engineering and Economics (AMEE '08). AIP Conference Proceedings, Volume 1067, pp. 209-220 (2008).〕 IDEA sponsored a 2008 study on how people find information, which was widely cited in the blogosphere.〔http://conference.archimuse.com/blog/ngamble/new_study_factors_improve_online_experiences〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=educationload.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gryphon Mountain - Just another WordPress weblog )〕 The key finding was the designers and communication directors overestimate the ease with which users can find information online, and they tend to underestimate the value of basic qualities like current information and engaging writing. Additionally, IDEA researched culturally appropriate ways to collect information from diverse populations. IDEA has collaborated with cancer researchers to make prostate cancer prognosis tools available to the general public,〔DE Soto, S Glaser, RH Roberts, MJ Schipper, PW, "Impact of Common Iliac Nodal Treatment on Radiation Outcomes in Localized Prostate Cancer". Urology, 2008.〕 and to bridge the gap of underserved, Native American communities dealing with cancer.〔UICC World Cancer Congress 2006 Bridging the Gap: Transforming Knowledge into Action July 8–12, 2006, Washington, DC, USA〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
