| Abstract: |
This paper discusses various information technology methods being applied to science education and public information. Of interest to the Office of Public Outreach at STScI and our collaborators is to investigate the various techniques through which science data can be mediated to the non-specialist client/user. In addition, attention is drawn to interactive and/or multimedia tools being used in astrophysics that may be useful, with modification, for educational purposes. In some cases, straightforward design decisions early on can improve the wide applicability of the interactive tool. |
