In addition to standard classroom teaching experience and experience of working
with students on their research projects, Dr. Sun has great enthusiasm for
developing
advanced technologies for college teaching and learning.
His educational applications over the past three years
have employed a variety of modern technologies and computer languages:
HTML, Javascript, Java, Director+Lingo, and Flash+Actionscript.
He is a team member of
LightCone Interactive affiliated with the
University of Tennessee.
The products of LightCone Interactive are either complete web-deliverable
science courses or alone-standing modules in CDs, which are all
structured by integrated interactive
animations. Reviewers have rated these
projects at the top of their respective fields in interactive
electronic technology for educational applications.
As a co-PI in a submitted proposal to the NSF, we plan to apply the
scalable vector graphics to the new generation of interactive animations.
For a brief summary of some of the completed educational technology products,
please see
these examples.
Technical Note: Many of the applications in the above
link use Flash 5. You must have the free Flash 5 Player installed on
your computer. If you have any doubt, or if something doesn't work,
install the current version of Flash 5 Player from
macromedia.com
before proceeding.
