我从2017年1月到2018年6月通过我们的大学宾夕法尼亚州立大学（Penn State）获得了一笔资助，用于开发一个网络应用程序，该应用程序可以潜在地解决在线学习中留存率低的问题。在整个过程中，我招募了一个志愿者团队，他们是教师，工作人员，英国南安普顿大学的研究生和专业开发人员，将想法变为现实。我们开发的应用程序被称为社会绩效优化工具（SPOT）。它是一个基于网络的交互式环境，学生可以通过化身的不同状态查看他们的课程表现（Wang等人。2017）。目前，SPOT已经投入使用，并在过去两年中在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的多个课程中进行了试点。此外，SPOT已在美国的不同大学以及日本东北大学进行了试点。在美国以外建立研究合作是令人兴奋但又具有挑战性的。兴奋可以是在不同的研究环境中进行研究的好奇心，与来自不同文化的参与者的互动，以及与国际同事的讨论，他们可以向您展示您从未想过的观点。除了兴奋之外，还有一些挑战需要解决，例如对知识产权（IP）的担忧。知识产权的定义是指头脑的创造，如发明;文学和艺术作品;外观设计;以及商业中使用的符号，名称和图像（WIPO 2019）^。这意味着一项技术的开发或研究的设计被视为知识产权。作为一名受雇于大学的研究生助理，我所有的发明都属于大学，无论是否获得资助。在建立国际合作之前，我需要和技术管理办公室谈谈
I received a grant from January 2017 to June 2018 through our university, the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), to develop a web application that can potentially address the problem of low retention rate in online learning. Throughout this journey, I recruited a team of volunteers who are faculty members, staff, a graduate student from the University of Southampton in UK and professional developers to transform the idea into reality. The application we have developed is called the Social Performance Optimization Tool (SPOT). It is a web-based interactive environment in which students are able to view their course performance through different states of an avatar (Wang et al. 2017). Currently, SPOT is functional and has been piloted at multiple courses within Penn State over the past two years. In addition, SPOT has been piloted at different universities within the United States as well as Tohoku University in Japan.Forming a research collaboration beyond the United States can be exciting yet challenging. The excitement can be the curiosity of conducting research at a different research setting, interactions with participants who are from different cultures, and discussions with the international colleagues who can present you perspectives you have never thought of. Aside from the excitement, there are also challenges that need to be addressed, such as concerns with intellectual property (IP). Intellectual property is defined as Brefers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce (WIPO 2019)^. This implies the development of a technology or the design of research is considered as intellectual property. As a graduate assistant who is employed by the university, all of my inventions belong to the university regardless of receiving a grant or not. Before forming the international collaboration, I needed to talk to the office of technology management
