The tools developed in the proposed project are flexible and can be used nationwide by instiutions with very different resources, including community colleges and high schools.
Both the tool and any developed, implemented, and adapted materials will be readily available for physics faculty.

+Gerd Kortemeyer is PI on the current NSF-ITR grant Investigation of a Model for Online Resource Creation and Sharing in Educational Settings (\#0085921, \$2,055,000, September 15, 2000 through July 31, 2005), which uses LON-CAPA as its model system.
+The project developed into a content sharing network of more than 15 institutions of higher education including community colleges and four-year institutions, as well as over 15 middle and high schools. In addition, LON-CAPA houses commercial textbook content from seven major publishing companies, and a commercial service company was established around the product at the end of 2004. The project maintains a gateway server to the National Science Digital Library, and the LON-CAPA shared resource pool is searchable and accessible from {\tt http://nsdl.org/}.
+LON-CAPA is used by approximately 25,000 students every semester.
+
+Gerd Kortemeyer is Co-PIs on the current NSF-CCLI-ASA grant Diagnostic Question Clusters: Development and Testing in Introductory Geology and Biology (\#0243126, \$491,606, September 15, 2003 through August 31, 2006) to develop diagnostic questions for college students in both biology and geology. In the ASA project, a pool of peer-reviewed, diagnostic question clusters to assess students' understanding will be developed, including tools for analysis, peer review, and online publication of these question clusters.

+electronic resources, \$290,000, 4/01/00-3/31/02), a store of extensive resources for
+interactive learning pedagogies, targeting both large and small classroom teaching techniques, which areavailable to the entire teaching community.
+ Using funds from a NSF Director's Distinguished Teaching Scholar Award (DUE \#123899, Distinguished Teaching Scholar Award: On-line Resources for Teaching With Peer Instruction, \$305,000, 9/15/01-8/31/05),
+we created the Interactive Learning Toolkit, a learning management system that allows instructors to implement several proven innovative teaching techniques and to share and review materials they create for these techniques.

All three groups collect data as described in Section~\ref{method}. The comparative study will be completed and analyzed in cooperation with the education PIs. The results will
be disseminated through publications and talks.
