EIA-0004280van Dam, AndriesBrown UniversitySpecial Projects: Workshop to Establish a Research Agenda in Learning Science and TechnologyThis award supports a workshop to define major research areas in learning science and technology, in particular at large scale, identifying the most pressing research needs and suggest ways of combining these topics into themes. This is a timely and very important project, as universities and other deliveries of training and education struggle to re-define their teaching methods given the extraordinary changes just beginning due to ubiquitous high-performance computing and networking.This workshop is related to an overall effort by NSF and others to foster the development of the Learning Federation (LF), a fledgling research organization designed to undertake research in this area. As envisioned by the organizers, the Learning Federation will model itself after consortia such as Sematech in the semiconductor industry; it will support pre-competitive, not-for-profit research among a consortium of industry, government, foundations and universities and will be managed and governed by the consortium members. The LF goal is to achieve a critical mass of projects by providing long-term, stable, "large-grain" funding for interdisciplinary research teams. The LF will fund basis learning science and technology as well as appropriate uses of technology and experimental content such as libraries of learning objects and courses. The focus will initially be on undergraduate, graduate, and life-long learning. The result will be a next generation of learning environments suited to a network context.

EIA-0004280 van Dam，AndriesBrown UniversitySpecial Projects：Workshop to Establish a Research Agenda in Learning Science and Technology该奖项支持一个研讨会，以确定学习科学和技术的主要研究领域，特别是在大规模，确定最紧迫的研究需求，并建议将这些主题结合成主题的方法。 这是一个及时和非常重要的项目，因为大学和其他提供培训和教育的机构正在努力重新定义他们的教学方法，因为无处不在的高性能计算和网络才刚刚开始发生巨大的变化。这个研讨会与NSF和其他机构的整体努力有关，以促进学习联合会（LF）的发展，一个新兴的研究组织，旨在开展该领域的研究。 正如组织者所设想的那样，学习联合会将模仿半导体行业的Sematech等财团;它将支持由行业、政府、基金会和大学组成的财团进行竞争前的非营利研究，并将由财团成员管理和治理。 LF的目标是通过为跨学科研究团队提供长期，稳定，“大颗粒”的资金来实现项目的临界质量。 LF将资助基础学习科学和技术以及适当使用技术和实验内容，例如学习对象和课程的图书馆。 重点将首先放在本科，研究生和终身学习。 其结果将是适合网络环境的下一代学习环境。
