This project creates a cyber-enabled virtual learning environment for the language sciences generally and the study of language development specifically. It will train students from different disciplinary, geographical and cultural backgrounds to use new cybertools as part of a Virtual Linguistics Laboratory. It initially involves eight US universities and one site in Peru, providing the foundation for expansion both nationally and internationally. The dissemination of these cybertools will help transform research processes in the language sciences and provide a distributed infrastructure for collaborative learning and research in the study of language and language development. The cybertools integrate metadata entry, data analyses and data sharing. The training program includes (i) a series of web-based courses, integrating synchronous and asynchronous forms of interactive information distribution, (ii) a web-based data transcription and analysis tool, (iii) a series of structured audio-visual demonstrations and related learning modules, and (iv) an online experiment bank. These materials will be integrated into a university-supported cyberinfrastructure to ensure the high availability needs of a distance learning program. An active National Science Digital Library program provides a further level of integrative infrastructure supporting wide distribution of information and resources. The intellectual significance of this project is that it empowers a wide array of collaborative and interdisciplinary research and teaching agendas and that it incorporates scientific principles in the cybertools themselves.

该项目为一般的语言科学，特别是语言发展的研究创造了一个基于网络的虚拟学习环境。它将培训来自不同学科、地理和文化背景的学生使用新的网络工具，作为虚拟语言学实验室的一部分。它最初涉及8所美国大学和秘鲁的一个地点，为在国内和国际上扩张奠定了基础。这些网络工具的传播将有助于改变语言科学的研究进程，并为语言和语言发展研究中的协作学习和研究提供一个分散的基础设施。这些网络工具集元数据输入、数据分析和数据共享于一体。培训方案包括：(1)一系列基于网络的课程，综合同步和异步形式的互动信息传播；(2)基于网络的数据转录和分析工具；(3)一系列结构化视听演示和相关学习单元；(4)在线实验库。这些材料将被整合到大学支持的网络基础设施中，以确保远程学习计划的高可用性需求。一个活跃的国家科学数字图书馆计划提供了更高水平的综合基础设施，支持信息和资源的广泛分布。该项目的学术意义在于，它促进了广泛的协作和跨学科研究和教学议程，并将科学原则纳入网络工具本身。
