The Science Education Gateway, formerly the Science Information Infrastructure, funded by NASA's Office of Space Science and previously LTP, is a national consortium of science museums, research institutions and educators working together to present the latest space science research for students, teachers, and the general public. SEGway has developed EPO (education and public outreach) materials for a number of NASA space science missions.
Teachers in locally grown collaborations produce SEGway materials with program staff at nearby partnering science museums. The partnerships support teacher-developers in achieving the goals of teaching Earth and space science online, and provide them with the training technical support needed for their curriculum projects. This highly collaborative network allows partners to leverage their unique skills, resulting in high quality educational resources that benefit teachers, students, the general public, and the science community. The contributions made by each entity are numerous.
The success of this model makes high-quality Web lessons, activities, and self-guided tutorials available at no cost, providing opportunities for educators and students in many states and districts to use NASA remote sensing data.
The SEGway Web site is designed to help teachers locate and identify the resources they can use best and that fit their local curriculum and National Science Education Standards. The interface is the result of ongoing research by CSE@SSL, aimed at creating architectures and functionality to facilitate access to SEGway materials by various user groups.
