1. The Learning Through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project is a national networking testbed investigating the use of advanced computing and communications technologies to support project-based science education in secondary schools. The Supportive Scientific Visualization Environments for Education (SSciVEE) Project is investigating the design of scientific visualization environments for learners. Information on these projects is available on the web at http://www.covis.nwu.edu/ and http://www.covis.nwu.edu/ sciviz/sciviz.html.

3. It is important to note the difference between the tasks that researchers perform with scientific visualization tools in the course of their research activities and those that they perform in order to prepare results for publication or other communicative acts. Many of the additional elements that researchers add to scientific visualizations to support communication with others are the same elements that we have found are necessary in the user interface of working environments for learners.
