The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support to strengthen STEM undergraduate education and research at HBCUs. Prompted by challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Bethune-Cookman University will conduct planning activities to increase HBCU faculty authorship of online STEM instruction that supports robust learning of STEM content. The aim of this project is to enable the conceptualization, planning and consensus/collaboration building activities regarding robust online learning opportunities in STEM. This planning project aligns with the goals of the HBCU-UP program in its efforts to bolster institutional capacity building for the purpose of enhancing STEM undergraduate education and research endeavors. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic made clear the urgent and ongoing need for undergraduate STEM courses that are optimized for robust learning and long-term achievement of students. The characteristics of robust learning outcomes include long term retention, transfer of learning to new situations, and desire for future learning. The Bethune-Cookman University research team plans to coordinate the creation of a collaborative faculty network on learning science research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The planning project will support the conceptualization, planning and consensus/collaboration-building activities essential to forming the network. In the first phase, the project leadership team will collaborate with an initial core group of HBCU faculty to brainstorm, conceptualize and gain consensus on how an HBCU Science of Learning network would work. In the second phase, a workshop & follow-on events will provide initial participating faculty hands-on use of authoring technologies from Carnegie Mellon University’s LearnLab to collaboratively create online learning activities and pilot their new content with their students. A third phase will involve preparing a proposal for large-scale efforts for an HBCU Science of Learning Network. These activities are envisioned to contribute to efforts at broadening participation in the nation's STEM workforce and deepening HBCU faculty contributions to learning science.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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科生计划（HBCU-UP）为加强HBCUs的STEM本科教育和研究提供支持。面对COVID-19大流行带来的挑战，白求恩-库克曼大学将开展规划活动，以增加HBCU教师在线STEM教学的作者人数，以支持STEM内容的强大学习。该项目的目的是使概念化，规划和共识/协作建设活动，在STEM强大的在线学习机会。该规划项目符合HBCU-UP计划的目标，旨在加强机构能力建设，以加强STEM本科教育和研究工作。 2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行明确了对本科STEM课程的迫切和持续需求，这些课程为学生的稳健学习和长期成就进行了优化。强大的学习成果的特征包括长期保留，学习转移到新的情况下，并希望未来的学习。白求恩-库克曼大学的研究小组计划协调在历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）建立一个关于学习科学研究的协作教师网络。规划项目将支持对建立网络至关重要的概念化、规划和建立共识/协作活动。在第一阶段，项目领导团队将与HBCU教师的初始核心小组合作，就HBCU学习科学网络的工作方式进行头脑风暴，概念化并达成共识。在第二阶段，研讨会后续活动将为最初参与的教师提供卡内基梅隆大学LearnLab的创作技术的实际使用，以协作创建在线学习活动，并与学生一起试点他们的新内容。第三阶段将涉及为HBCU学习科学网络的大规模努力编写一份提案。这些活动旨在为扩大国家STEM劳动力的参与和深化HBCU教师对学习科学的贡献做出贡献。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。
