"Technology-Enhanced Learning in Science (TELS)" is designed to undertake large-scale, collaborative applied research based on technology-enhanced, standards-based curricula materials. The Accelerator's research projects utilize software tools and simulations embedded in online curriculum-based activities that are designed to teach central topics in introductory science through student inquiry and collaboration. The curricula are being tested in numerous schools that serve diverse student populations using sophisticated online assessment strategies. Graduate student research studies involve nationwide collaboration with experts in various aspects of their research, utilize a sophisticated technology infrastructure to gather data from large numbers of students anywhere, and incorporate advanced software technologies. This effort will guide educators and policymakers in the implementation decisions being made daily about technology. The products include useful research results for educational professionals, valuable research experience for graduate students, free proven technology-based materials, and professional development grounded in theory and built on articulated design principles and a curriculum framework. "The Education Accelerator" uses a collaborative style of research borrowed from the sciences that is essential to progress toward the full use of technology in education. This approach could well provide a model for other research centers. TELS provides graduate training for 20 PhD students and 100 Certificate students. It also provides professional development for 1,000 pre-service students and 500 teachers engaged in Center workshops and on-line courses.Partners include the University of California at Berkeley, the Concord Consortium, Arizona State University, Berkeley Public Schools, Boston University, Cambridge Public Schools, Mills College, Mount Diablo Public Schools, Norfolk State University, North Carolina Central University, Pennsylvania State University, the Technion Institute of Technology, Tempe Public Schools and Maynard Public Schools.

“科技强化学习科学（TELS）”的目的是进行大规模的，合作应用研究的基础上，技术增强，标准为基础的课程材料。 加速器的研究项目利用嵌入在基于在线研讨会的活动中的软件工具和模拟，这些活动旨在通过学生的探究和协作来教授入门科学的中心主题。这些课程正在许多学校进行测试，这些学校采用先进的在线评估战略，为不同的学生群体提供服务。 研究生的研究涉及全国范围内的合作与专家在他们的研究的各个方面，利用先进的技术基础设施，以收集数据从大量的学生在任何地方，并结合先进的软件技术。 这项工作将指导教育工作者和政策制定者实施每天做出的关于技术的决定。 这些产品包括对教育专业人士有用的研究成果，对研究生有价值的研究经验，免费的基于技术的材料，以及以理论为基础的专业发展，并建立在明确的设计原则和课程框架之上。 “教育加速器”使用从科学中借鉴的合作研究风格，这对于在教育中充分利用技术至关重要。 这种方法可以很好地为其他研究中心提供模式。 TELS为20名博士生和100名证书学生提供研究生培训。 它还为1 000名从事中心讲习班和在线课程的职前学生和500名教师提供专业发展，合作伙伴包括加州大学伯克利分校、康科德财团、亚利桑那州州立大学、伯克利公立学校、波士顿大学、剑桥公立学校、米尔斯学院、迪亚波罗山公立学校、诺福克州立大学、北卡罗来纳州中央大学、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、以色列理工学院、滕佩公立学校和梅纳德公立学校。
