The goal of the Simplified Image Management and Processing Learning Environment for Science (SIMPLE Science) project is to help overcome barriers to use of image processing and analysis (IPA) in K-12 classrooms by:
• making IPA accessible to mainstream educators and the public as an easy-to-use learning tool,
• providing educator access to extensive and updateable archives of imaging data, and
• designing a pedagogical structure that helps educators use imaging data in a manner that
• supports attainment of specific national education standards for middle school education.
The goal of the Pedagogic Service is encourage educators to reflect critically on their own teaching practices and to support them in exploring new pedagogies. Building on a successful model in the geosciences, we have created a library of pedagogic methods and a collection of activities which exemplify each method. The complete library is available through the Pedagogy in Action portal. Additionally, the library is used by our partners to create customized pedagogic portals for their own websites. Each portal links together information about pedagogic methods with examples of their use.

Description
Digital Learning Sciences is a mission-centered, not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving learning through the use of digital content and tools. We develop systems and services that enable science and educational organizations – universities, school districts, libraries, and publishers – to organize, manage, comprehend, and enrich online resources to improve learning outcomes and learner engagement.

Description
For more than two years, members of The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) and the co-directors of the Health Education Assets Library (HEAL) have been working together to further the development of HEAL. HEAL is a digital repository that allows medical educators to discover, download, and re-use over 22,000 medical education resources. Through generous funding by IAMSE, HEAL is becoming a dynamic, user-centered digital environment to allow medical educators to share and discuss teaching resources and methods. This is being accomplished through the incorporation of key characteristics of Web 2.0 technologies into HEAL including user reviews of resources and user tagging (searchable keywords) of resources.
