For the 21st century, our nation must be cyberinfrastructure savvy if it is to be competitive in the international marketplace. Education is no longer PK-20, but rather a lifelong endeavor affecting the general citizenry as well as future and current scientists and engineers. The very nature of what and how we learn is being greatly impacted by cyberinfrastructure (CI) and the emerging computational sciences and engineering(CS & E) fueling much of CI development. We are witnessing the emergence of CI-enabled learning, or cyberlearning, which holds tremendous potential for formal and informal STEM education and other fields. To meet its anticipated workforce demands, the nation must broaden the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM, particularly in CI and CS & E, and utilize CI to help this broadening effort.A series of workshops, planned by a select group of experts in the field, would greatly advance research and curricular developments for cyberlearning and cyberinfrastructure workforce development.Cyberlearning and CI workforce pipeline development have the potential to greatly expand the participation of women, persons with disabilities, underrepresented minorities, and minority-serving institutions in thefuture of STEM and CI. The NSF?s learning and workforce development goals for cyberinfrastructure envision an expansion of CI knowledge, skills, and opportunities throughout all levels of education and society. Developing an effective approach for community input on achieving those goals would help the nation and the CI community to move effectively in that direction, and thus ultimately realize the full benefits of CI for learning, discovery, innovation, and broader engagement in and the democratization of science and engineering.

在21世纪，我们的国家如果要在国际市场上具有竞争力，就必须精通网络基础设施。教育不再是PK-20，而是影响普通公民以及未来和现在的科学家和工程师的终身努力。网络基础设施（CI）和新兴的计算科学与工程（CS &amp； E）在很大程度上推动了CI的发展，这极大地影响了我们学习内容和学习方式的本质。我们正在目睹基于ci的学习或网络学习的出现，这对正规和非正规STEM教育以及其他领域具有巨大潜力。为了满足其预期的劳动力需求，国家必须扩大传统上代表性不足的群体在STEM领域的参与，特别是在CI和CS &； E领域，并利用CI来帮助扩大这一努力。由该领域的一组精选专家计划的一系列讲习班将大大推进网络学习和网络基础设施劳动力发展的研究和课程开发。网络学习和CI劳动力管道的发展有可能极大地扩大妇女、残疾人、代表性不足的少数民族和少数民族服务机构在STEM和CI未来的参与。美国国家科学基金会?网络基础设施的学习和劳动力发展目标设想了在各级教育和社会中扩展CI知识、技能和机会。开发一种有效的方法，让社区参与实现这些目标，将有助于国家和CI社区朝着这个方向有效地前进，从而最终实现CI在学习、发现、创新、更广泛参与和科学与工程民主化方面的全部好处。
