Interactions in Understanding The Universe

Worth keeping an eye on...

"I2U2 will develop and maintain a portfolio of laboratories for a diverse range of audiences and will provide tools and support services to assist developers in creating these educational resources. These laboratories break new ground by using the Grid for education in the same way that science uses the Grid.

The labs will take two similar but distinct shapes. e-Labs, delivered as Web-based portals accessible in the classroom and at home, will be implemented with the ever-expanding capabilities of Web-based media. i-Labs, delivered as interactive interfaces typically located within science museums and similar public venues, will leverage the latest advances in display technology and human-computer interaction, and will bring the experiences and appreciation of scientific investigation and inquiry to the wide audience of informal education."

This looks interesting, I noticed the presentation link at bottom of page 'getting started with e and i-Labs' which shows
a workflow for creating a project with the eLab.
