EIA-0082771Walters, DeborahSUNY at BuffaloITR: Women-Friendly Environments for Learning Information TechnologyThere is currently an unsatisfied national demand for people trained ininformation technology (IT) with a minority of the students enrolled in ITprograms being female. The proposed project is to develop an educationalapproach that will appeal to women and provide them with an appropriatelearning environment for IT courses. There are four components to theproject. First, will be efforts to build upon results of investigations onhow to use technology to increase learning and decrease costs as taughtwithin an IT fluency course. Second, will be research on learning stylesto provide quantitative evidence to explore the validity of learning stylesin general, and the consistency of women's learning styles, particularly,correlations between learning styles, learning environments andperformance. Third, will be research on how to improve Web-basedcollaborative experiences. Fourth, will be the testing of findings throughcomparisons of learning achieved in a traditional environment with learningin an environment restructured to take into account the project's findingsand those of other researchers in the field. The specific application ofthe project will be the development an a women-friendly information designand technology undergraduate certificate program that is accessible tostudents of any major. The introductory courses of the certificate programwill be designed so that students can move easily into either a traditionalcomputer science or media studies program.

EIA-0082771Walters，DeborahSUNY at BuffaloITR：女性友好的信息技术学习环境目前，全国对信息技术 (IT) 培训人员的需求未得到满足，少数就读 IT 课程的学生是女性。 拟议的项目旨在开发一种吸引女性的教育方法，并为她们提供适当的信息技术课程学习环境。 该项目有四个组成部分。 首先，将努力根据 IT 熟练程度课程中教授的如何使用技术来增加学习和降低成本的调查结果为基础。 其次，将对学习风格进行研究，为探索学习风格的总体有效性和女性学习风格的一致性，特别是学习风格、学习环境和绩效之间的相关性提供定量证据。 第三，将研究如何改善基于网络的协作体验。 第四，将通过比较在传统环境中实现的学习与在重组环境中的学习来测试研究结果，以考虑该项目的研究结果以及该领域其他研究人员的研究结果。 该项目的具体应用将是开发一个适合女性的信息设计和技术本科证书课程，任何专业的学生都可以使用。 证书课程的入门课程旨在使学生能够轻松进入传统的计算机科学或媒体研究课程。
