This project is funded by Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) Program which seeks to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educational materials that are open-sourced and made freely available to learners and educators, known as Open Educational Resources (OER), require an infrastructure that exceeds the quality of commercial alternatives. This project scopes the creation of an Open-Source Ecosystem (OSE) consisting of two existing open-source products: PreTeXt for authoring scholarly documents and textbooks suitable for all areas of STEM, and the Runestone learning engineering and analytics portal for publishing OER textbooks that support both instruction and education research in K-12 and higher education. The long-term societal impacts of this OSE are open-source textbooks that are made freely available to the nation’s STEM classrooms and students through the Open-Source Ecosystem’s support of instructors, authors, and researchers. Furthermore, the OER has the potential to reflect cutting-edge advancements in STEM education research by removing the barriers between researchers, authors, instructors, and students. PreTeXt-authored works can be converted into HTML, print, and braille formats, enabling the resulting Open Educational Resources to be accessible to a wide range of learners at no cost, an equitable approach to ensuring that all students have the same access to education. The scoping activities include curating methods to create multifaceted, accessible, and interactive STEM education content, and providing mechanisms for students, instructors, content authors, and researchers to seamlessly interact with textbook materials to produce and utilize analytics. The team will hold virtual meetings of stakeholders throughout the first half of the project, culminating in an in-person summit at the end of the project. Evaluation of the project will include qualitative feedback from meeting participants and experts across the larger STEM OER community, including those from alternative OER platforms and aggregators. The project aims to support the development of an infrastructure and governance structure for a sustainable and robust Open-Source Ecosystem in service of Open Educational Resources communities.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.

该项目由开放源代码生态系统途径（POSE）计划资助，该计划旨在利用开放源代码开发的力量，为国家和社会重要问题创造新的技术解决方案。科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育材料是开源的，并免费提供给学习者和教育工作者，称为开放教育资源（OER），需要一个基础设施，超过商业替代品的质量。该项目的范围包括创建一个开源生态系统（OSE），该生态系统由两个现有的开源产品组成：PreTeXt用于编写适用于STEM所有领域的学术文档和教科书，以及Runestone学习工程和分析门户网站，用于发布支持K-12和高等教育教学和教育研究的OER教科书。这个OSE的长期社会影响是开源教科书，通过开源生态系统对教师，作者和研究人员的支持，免费提供给国家的STEM教室和学生。此外，OER有可能通过消除研究人员，作者，教师和学生之间的障碍来反映STEM教育研究的前沿进展。PreTeXt创作的作品可以转换为HTML，打印和盲文格式，使由此产生的开放式教育资源能够免费提供给广泛的学习者，这是一种确保所有学生都有同等教育机会的公平方法。范围界定活动包括创建多方面、可访问和交互式STEM教育内容的策展方法，并为学生、教师、内容作者和研究人员提供与教科书材料无缝交互的机制，以生成和利用分析。该团队将在整个项目的前半部分举行利益相关者的虚拟会议，并在项目结束时举行面对面的峰会。该项目的评估将包括来自更大的STEM OER社区的与会者和专家的定性反馈，包括来自替代OER平台和聚合器的反馈。该项目旨在支持基础设施和治理结构的发展，以建立一个可持续和强大的开源生态系统，为开放教育资源社区服务。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。
