Part 1Field courses are a critical element of teaching and learning in the field-focused science disciplines. However, key sites are often inaccessible to students with disabilities. Students who cannot access a field location with their peers and instructors are given alternate assignments that do not provide the same level of inquiry-based, collaborative learning that students receive in the field. Technology-mediated approaches to collaborative fieldwork have been shown to be an effective means of enabling participation for students who would otherwise be excluded. However, the cost of appropriate communication technology to facilitate remote access is a barrier for many field course instructors. Establishing a set of loan equipment will enable broader accessibility and active participation in field-based teaching, learning and research for students and faculty with disabilities. A major outcome will be increasing the social inclusion within the field-based disciplines which will help attract other under-represented groups to study the geosciences and provide further opportunities to promote diversity and inclusion within higher education and the associated disciplines.Part 2This grant will establish an inclusive fieldwork toolkit to enable field-focused science instructors to integrate tried-and-tested assistive technology into their teaching and provide a basis for sharing inclusive fieldwork practices across institutions, promoting diversity and inclusion in the broader geoscience community. The established toolkit will support the following goals:- Provide access to equipment for inclusive field experiences.- Establish a community of student and faculty researchers engaged in accessibility-related projects who could then generate use-case reports and become system trainers for deployment at other institutions.- Create new opportunities for collaboration and innovation by reproducing instructional practices utilizing an established and evaluated set of equipment.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第一部分野外课程是野外科学学科教学的重要组成部分。然而，残疾学生往往无法进入关键地点。学生谁不能访问一个领域的位置与他们的同龄人和教师给予替代的任务，不提供相同水平的探究为基础的，协作学习，学生在现场接收。以技术为媒介的合作实地工作的方法已被证明是一种有效的手段，使参与的学生谁否则会被排除在外。然而，便利远程访问的适当通信技术的费用对许多实地课程教员来说是一个障碍。建立一套贷款设备将使残疾学生和教职员工能够更广泛地参与和积极参与实地教学、学习和研究。一个主要的成果将是增加社会包容性的领域为基础的学科，这将有助于吸引其他代表性不足的群体研究地球科学，并提供进一步的机会，以促进多样性和包容性的高等教育和相关学科。第二部分这笔赠款将建立一个包容性的实地工作工具包，使实地为重点的科学教师，以整合久经考验的这些研究人员将经过测试的辅助技术纳入教学，并为在各机构之间分享包容性实地工作实践提供基础，促进更广泛的地球科学界的多样性和包容性。已建立的工具包将支持以下目标：-为包容性实地经验提供设备。建立一个由学生和教师研究人员组成的社区，他们从事与可访问性相关的项目，然后可以生成用例报告，并成为其他机构部署的系统培训师。通过利用一套已建立并经过评估的设备复制教学实践，为合作和创新创造新的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
