CAP: Building a Cyberlearning Research Program: An Early Career Symposium; November 3 and 4, 2015; Indianapolis, Indiana

网络学习和未来学习技术计划资助的努力将有助于设想下一代学习技术，并推进我们对人们如何在技术丰富的环境中学习的了解。能力建设项目提高了研究人员了解今后应如何设计和使用这种技术的能力，并支持新的能力，使研究人员能够回答有关人们如何学习、如何促进或评估学习和/或如何设计学习的问题。该项目资助了一个培训和指导研讨会，为博士生和早期职业教师在教学设计和技术领域的主要教学设计会议上了解网络学习研究社区。教育通信和技术协会（AECT）的年度会议提供了一个论坛，围绕设计学习和培训的技术支持交换意见。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。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，工程和数学教育的高级专业人员。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。今年研讨会的计划是根据以前AECT早期职业研讨会与会者的反馈信息制定的。

The Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies Program funds efforts that will help envision the next generation of learning technologies and advance what we know about how people learn in technology-rich environments. Capacity-building (CAP) projects increase the ability of researchers to understand how such technology should be designed and used in the future and supports new capacity in allowing researchers to answer questions about how people learn, how to foster or assess learning, and/or how to design for learning. This project funds a training and mentorship workshop for doctoral students and early career faculty in the field of Instructional Design and Technology to learn about Cyberlearning research community at the main instructional design conference.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. 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 education. 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. The plan for this year's workshop is informed by feedback from attendees at previous AECT Early Career Symposia.
