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

教育、通信和技术协会(AECT)年会提供了一个交流思想的论坛，可以围绕为学习和培训设计技术支持进行交流。它的早期职业研讨会为早期职业学者提供了一条途径，让他们接受知名研究人员的指导。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之一，更广泛地说，是教育和教育技术。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的旅行。研讨会期间的会议旨在帮助合作者设想前瞻性和可行的面向技术的研究议程，确定与其优势互补的合作者类型，并确定可能支持他们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与学方式感兴趣的研究人员。这项活动支持NSF培养更多科学、技术、工程和数学方面的高级专业人员的使命。这次会议是网络学习社区的研究人员定期参加的众多会议之一。导师来自AECT社区和学习科学界。

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.
