CAP: Building a Technology Research Agenda - An Early Career Symposium

教育通信与技术协会（AECT）的年度会议为围绕设计学习和培训技术支持的想法提供了一个交流论坛。它的早期职业研讨会为早期职业学者提供了一个途径，让他们接受既定研究人员的指导。2012年年会的主题是“全球化时代的学习”，早期职业研讨会的导师是这一领域的领导者，更普遍的是教学和教育技术。该项目支持来自美国大学的高级研究生和新教师参加年会和早期职业研讨会。研讨会期间的会议旨在帮助合作者想象前瞻性和可行的技术导向的研究议程，确定谁补充他们的优势合作者的类型，并确定可能支持他们的工作的资助机构和计划。研讨会的一个重要目标是增加对技术改变教学方式感兴趣的研究人员。这项活动支持NSF的使命，培养更多的科学，技术，工程和数学高级专业人员。这次会议是网络学习社区研究人员定期参加的众多会议之一。导师来自AECT社区以及学习科学社区。

The Annual Meeting of the Association for Education Communications and Technology (AECT) provides a forum for interchange of ideas around designing technological support for learning and training. Its Early Career Symposia provide an avenue for early career scholars to receive mentoring from established researchers. The 2012 Annual Meeting has the theme, "Learning in an Age of Globalization," and mentors for the Early Career Symposium are among the leaders in this area and, more generally, instructional and educational technology. This project supports travel for advanced graduate students and new faculty from U.S. universities to attend the Annual Meeting and Early Career Symposium. Sessions during the Symposium are designed to help collaborators imagine forward-looking and viable technology-oriented research agendas, identify the types of collaborators who complement their strengths, and identify the funding agencies and programs that might support their work. An important goal of the Symposium is to add to the community of researchers interested in ways that technology can transform teaching and learning. This activity supports the mission of NSF to train more advanced professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This conference is one among many that researchers in the cyberlearning community regularly attend. Mentors come from the AECT community as well as from the learning sciences community.
