Materials World/Interactive
Materials World/Interactive (MWI) is a multimedia program to document and share data about teaching practice. MWI was designed to be a companion CD-ROM for the Materials World Modules, a set of materials-science based design projects that were targeted for use in high school science classrooms. The design of MWI drew on Eric's dissertation research examining teachers' use of the modules, and was intended to support teachers who wanted to use design-based materials like MWM. It included video-based examples of classroom practice, including interviews of teachers discussing their practice, as well as background information about the pedagogical approach of the modules.
Teachers view examples of classroom practice and have access to related contextual information.
