Scientific paper

The Solar System Collaboratory aims to improve the quality of learning in science courses designed for non-science majors through two new technologies: hypertext and distant collaboration. We are developing a web-based, modular, introductory astronomy course that is taught collaboratively across Colorado. The first module, a 2-week module on the greenhouse effect, was tested in Spring 1997 and Fall 1997 with further classes scheduled to be taught collaboratively between the participating schools in Spring 1998. The project includes an extensive assessment and evaluation component, and preliminary results indicate that the module can increase student participation in the course, student interest in science, and student self-confidence in solving novel, open-ended problems.
