Information for Developers Home - Ready - Go Introduction e-Lab: An online collaborative student investigation of real-world issues. Educational Characteristics: Projects are problem-based, student driven and technology dependent. Students reach beyond classroom walls to explore data with other students and experts and share results, publishing original work to a world-wide audience. Students can discover and extend the research of other students, modeling the processes of modern, large-scale research projects. Technology Characteristics: Students ONLY need a web-browser. (There may be some additional software for data acquisition, but that is not a requirement to participate.) Projects use emerging grid computing technologies. Data is derived from professional research databases. In some cases data may be student-collected and uploaded. "Under the hood" option allows students to see the grid techniques employed and/or write their own analysis tools. Standard Framework: Facilitates teacher use; they call it "one stop shopping." Templates ensure that project and teacher pages have a similar look and function. Student pages have some standard requirements and functions but page design is flexible.
