The Conference on Cyberlearning Tools for STEM (CyTSE) brings together scientists, cyberlearning developers, educational researchers, STEM educators (formal and informal), curriculum developers and other stakeholders that contribute to the agenda on K-12 STEM cyberlearning and workforce preparation. Collaborators include Northwestern University, University of Colorado at Boulder, and the WGBH Educational Foundation. This informative meeting will be held as a NSTA pre-conference workshop. The conference plan includes keynote presentations by prominent cyberinfrastructure and cyberlearning professionals, an expert panel on cyberlearning and the future of STEM education, hands-on demonstrations of cyberlearning tools for participants, and interactive poster sessions. Potential tracks for the poster sessions include emerging technologies, design and development, technical challenges and solutions, implementation and integration, and research and evaluation. The second day of the conference will include teacher professional development workshops, as well as in-depth design focus groups, developer integration and interoperability workshops, and a session emphasizing the development of a cyberlearning research agenda. Additional deliverables include a video overview of the conference (for those unable to attend), a white paper proposing a cyberlearning research agenda, and an evaluation study to measure the impact of the conference on participants. A series of post-conference webinars will be hosted by WGBH's Teachers' Domain and publicized on their Facebook, Classroom 2.0, and Science Ning sites to encourage ongoing collaboration. It is anticipated that this two-day conference will bridge gaps between the stakeholder communities and expose important trends and issues that will contribute to a comprehensive research agenda.

STEM网络学习工具会议（CyTSE）汇集了科学家，网络学习开发人员，教育研究人员，STEM教育工作者（正式和非正式），课程开发人员和其他利益相关者，为K-12 STEM网络学习和劳动力准备议程做出贡献。合作者包括西北大学、位于博尔德的科罗拉多大学和WGBH教育基金会。这次信息会议将作为NSTA会前研讨会举行。会议计划包括著名网络基础设施和网络学习专业人士的主题演讲，网络学习和STEM教育未来的专家小组，为与会者提供网络学习工具的动手演示，以及互动海报会议。海报会议的潜在主题包括新兴技术、设计和开发、技术挑战和解决方案、实施和整合以及研究和评估。会议的第二天将包括教师专业发展研讨会，以及深入的设计焦点小组，开发人员集成和互操作性研讨会，以及一个强调网络学习研究议程发展的会议。其他可交付成果包括会议视频概览（供无法出席者使用）、提出网络学习研究议程的白色文件以及衡量会议对与会者影响的评估研究。一系列的会后网络研讨会将由WGBH的教师领域主办，并在他们的Facebook，Classroom 2.0和Science Ning网站上公布，以鼓励持续的合作。预计这次为期两天的会议将弥合利益攸关方之间的差距，并揭示有助于制定全面研究议程的重要趋势和问题。
