SGER: Increasing the Educational Impact of NSF-funded Research

该项目正在调查、开发和实施一套新颖和创新的数字工具，使研究人员和教育工作者能够轻松地记录他们项目的进展、结果和其他结果，以便纳入国家STEM教育数字图书馆(NSDL)。通过利用NSDL数据仓库的语义网功能，结合本项目中支持和集成的维基、书签和标记工具，贡献者围绕他们的研究创建背景，将其与教育实践联系起来，并将研究与对理解和教学至关重要的背景材料联系起来。此外，这些工具允许研究人员和教育工作者添加元数据和对出版物、网站和其他与其工作有关的数字资源的引用(无论是他们自己还是其他人创建)；更广泛地说，对对STEM教育界有价值的数字资源进行标记和评级。通过直接参与主要研究人员，通过NSDL公布他们的研究和教育成果，该项目正在扩大所有项目的更广泛影响。

This project is investigating, developing, and implementing a suite of novel and innovative digital tools to enable researchers and educators to easily document progress, results, and other outcomes of their projects for inclusion in the National STEM Education Digital Library (NSDL). By making use of the semantic web features of the NSDL Data Repository, combined with the wiki, bookmarking, and tagging tools supported and integrated in this project, contributors create context around their research, link it with educational practice, and connect the research to background materials critical to understanding and teaching about it. In addition, the tools allow researchers and educators to add metadata and references to publications, web sites, and other digital resources related to their work (whether created by themselves or others); and more generally, tag and rate digital resources that have value to the STEM education community. By directly serving to engage principal investigators in making their research and education outcomes known through NSDL, this project is amplifying the broader impacts of all projects.
