Shodor Site Usage Hits 4 Million

Shodor, a national resource for computational science education, is located in Durham, N.C., and serves students and educators nationwide. In addition to developing and deploying interactive models, simulations, and educational tools, Shodor serves students and educators directly through workshops and other hands-on experiences.

Last year Shodor received funding from the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), which has been used to supplement the National Computation Science Institute (NCSI) project, and has enabled them to take their talents on the road, offering more summer workshops last year and this coming summer. NCSI provides workshops covering a wide range of subjects relating to computational science. These workshops are designed for undergraduate faculty as well as high school and middle school teachers, giving participants ideas and resources to use in their classrooms. The return on investment in terms of web usage is amazing; Shodor has a definite increase in the usage of their online resources. In March, Shodor served 4.25 Million Web Pages and 800,000 visitors.

Shodor would like to thank all of its partners for sharing in their resources and supporting them in every way possible.
