CAP: Building a Cyberlearning Research Program: An Early Career Symposium

网络学习和未来学习技术计划资助的努力将有助于展望下一代学习技术，并促进我们对人们在技术丰富的环境中如何学习的了解。网络学习履约协助方案项目通过改善技术基础设施、人力资本和其他方式，建设网络学习领域的研究和开发能力。教育传播与技术协会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。该项目支持会议上的早期职业研讨会，该研讨会允许早期职业学者接受来自计算机科学和学习研究的知名网络学习研究人员的指导。该项目支持来自美国大学的高级研究生和新教师参加在内华达州拉斯维加斯举行的AECT 2016会议的早期职业研讨会。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。

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. Cyberlearning CAP projects build capacity for research and development in the field of cyberlearning by improving technical infrastructure, human capital, and in other ways. The Annual Meeting of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology provides a forum for interchange of ideas around designing technological support for learning and training. This project supports an Early Career Symposium at the conference which allows early career scholars to receive mentoring from established cyberlearning researchers from both computer science and learning research.This project supports travel for advanced graduate students and new faculty from U.S. universities to attend the Early Career Symposium at the AECT 2016 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. 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.
