Workshop: Transitioning Research-Developed Learning Technologies into Broad Use Phases, Challenges, and Needed Infrastructure

我们提出了一个为期一天的研讨会，旨在种子的基础设施，这是需要把研究开发的学习技术，以广泛使用的跨机构分析。虽然技术转移计划存在于NSF和教育部，我们相信，把学习技术的广泛使用的挑战超出了通用的技术转移组织的目的是提供。研讨会将于2010年12月14日在华盛顿，DC。它将把那些成功地将他们的研究开发的学习技术广泛使用的个人与那些将其中一些技术推向市场的组织的代表聚集在一起，帮助研究人员开发学习技术，考虑到规模扩大，为技术从研究到使用的过渡提供基础设施，以及资助学习技术设计和开发以及技术学习研究的组织（美国国家科学基金会（NSF）、美国教育部（艾德）和教育科学研究所（IES））。我们这次研讨会的目标如下：（1）确定将研究开发的技术广泛应用的途径，（2）确定每个途径的阶段，并为每个阶段确定成功完成该阶段的挑战，（3）确定可用于应对这些挑战的基础设施，（4）确定基础设施中的差距，和（5）为NSF、IES和ED的广泛项目官员提供一个机会，让他们聚集在一起考虑这一系列重要问题。研讨会的最终产品将是一份文件，确定将学习技术过渡到广泛使用的途径，沿着每一途径的沿着和在每一阶段取得成功的挑战，实现过程和减轻挑战的可用基础设施，和基础设施的缺失。我们希望，这些清单将使适当的社区能够继续讨论和规划所需的基础设施。智力优势：研讨会将建立在那些致力于将学习技术广泛应用的人的经验和研究的基础上，并确定挑战和解决这些挑战的一些方法。更广泛的目标：一个能够帮助研究人员将有价值的学习技术转化为广泛使用的基础设施，将为整个国家带来丰富而有效的学习经验？的学龄人口和超越。

We propose a 1-day workshop designed to seed a cross-agency analysis of the infrastructure that is needed to bring research-developed learning technologies to broad use. While technology transfer programs exist within NSF and the Department of Education, we believe the challenges of bringing learning technologies to broad use go beyond what general-purpose technology transfer organizations are designed to provide.The workshop will be held on December 14, 2010, in Washington, DC. It will bring together individuals who have successfully taken their research-developed learning technologies to broad use with representatives of organizations that have brought some of those technologies to market, that help researchers develop learning technologies with scale-up in mind, that provide infrastructure for transitioning technologies from research to use, and organizations that fund design and development of learning technologies and research on learning with technology (the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Education (ED), and the Institute for Education Science (IES)).Our objectives for this workshop are as follows: (1) Identify pathways for taking research-developed technology to broad use, (2) Identify phases in each of those pathways, and for each phase, identify thechallenges to successfully completing it, (3) Identify infrastructure that is available for addressing those challenges, (4) Identify gaps in that infrastructure, and (5) Provide an opportunity for a broad range of program officers at NSF, IES, andED to come together to consider this set of important issues.The end product of the workshop will be a document that identifies pathways for transitioning learning technologies to broad use, phases along each pathway and the challenges to success at each phase, available infrastructure for enabling the processes and mitigating the challenges, and infrastructure that is missing. Our hope is that these lists will enable and empower appropriate communities to continue the discussion and plan toward the needed infrastructure.Intellectual Merit: The workshop will build on the experiences and research of those who have worked towards bringing learning technologies to broad use and identify challenges and some of the ways of addressing those.Broader Objectives: An infrastructure that can help researchers transition worthy learning technologies to broad use will enable rich and effective learning experiences for the entirety of the country?s school-age population and beyond.
