\nsignals how and where they will deliver their educational content in

\nthe WGBH Educational Foundation, the teachersdomain.org<\/span><\/a>
\nwebsite will be the place where the broadcast materials will be housed
\nand distributed, but through educational partnerships, such as SUNY or
\nPBS Teacherline – see http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/teacherline\/<\/span><\/a> – “for-credit” courses will be available to learners. <\/p>\n

“Teachers\u2019
\nDomain offers more than 1,000 high quality online multimedia resources
\nto enhance students\u2019 learning experiences in Engineering, Physical,
\nLife, Earth and Space Sciences. The collections feature high-quality
\nvideo, audio, interactives, images, and documents from public
\ntelevision sources such as Nova, American Experience, Frontline, Zoom,
\nand many other programs and partners. Explanatory background articles
\nare provided for each resource, as well as correlations to national and
\nstate education standards. SUNY has participated in the initiative to
\nadapt Teachers\u2019 Domain to a higher education audience. SUNY online
\ninstructional designers were invited to review and provide feedback on
\nthe Teachers\u2019 Domain site, and I will be showing the initial results of
\nour collaboration in the form of schematic diagrams, wireframe
\nsketches, and design mockups. Additional feedback will be solicited to
\nmake sure that we\u2019re on the right track.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
