FOR EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL
ExInEd: Exploration in Education (ExInEd) is
a NASA-supported program of the Special Studies Office (SSO) of
the Space Telescope Science Institute. The SSO is studying and designing ways
to develop stronger connections between the research community
and K-12 education through SSO's Exploration in Education
(ExInEd) program. The ExInEd program, headed by Dr.
Robert A. Brown, was established to explore new ways to derive
social benefit from the space program by communicating its
attendant ideas and results. ExInEd uses technology to overcome
the time lag and information barriers that keep fresh research
results from reaching wide audiences. In one facet of its
program, ExInEd develops new types of electronic publications
that combine the aesthetic benefits of traditional hard-cover
copy with the flexibility and interactivity of electronic data,
including audio and full-color video. ExInEd welcomes the
expanded information networks that are enabling better, faster,
less expensive, and easier-to-use methods of conveying the
information and excitement of space activities to broad
audiences.
