ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS IN CREATING TELECOMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE

这是技术教育研究中心的一项建议。 （TERC）通过以下方式关注教育远程计算的需求 召开教育计算机联盟成立大会 后续组织活动。 联盟的目标是 通过鼓励提供高质量的教育来改善教育， 以尽可能低的学校成本进行远程计算学习。 该联盟将创建和推广教育远程计算 数学和科学的软件和课程， 向成员国提供资金，并向 政府和企业。 联合会还将协调 网络和主机的建立和互连。 联合会成立大会暂定于 剑桥，1991年4月18日至19日，55名参与者，其中25名将是 由申请的资金资助。 TERC正在为这些成本做出贡献 预计将从公司获得额外资金 提案国 该联盟的成立代表了一个新的发展， 教育改革。 这是一种有意识的尝试， 汇集各州、各省和 公司和其他对教育感兴趣的人创造和分享 软件、课程和专门知识。 它设想基本上是公共的 传播机制，这可能会导致大量节省， 学校水平。 虽然有一些独特的因素有利于 这一特殊努力的成功，财团的想法可能有 在NSF感兴趣的其他领域的应用。 会议还 提供了一个独特的机会来决定和影响 国家和其他组织关于教育的规划 远程计算 赠款的结果之一将是广泛的 分发一份总结这些问题的报告。 该项目得到了以下项目的共同支持： 高等技术与科学数学教育网。

This is a proposal from the Technical Education Research Centers, Inc. (TERC) to focus attention on the needs of educational telecomputing by holding a founding meeting for a Consortium on Educational Telecomputing with follow-on organizational activities. The goal of the Consortium is to improve education by stimulating the provision of quality telecomputing-based learning at the lowest possible cost to schools. This Consortium would create and disseminate education telecomputing software and curriculum in mathematics and science both by pooling funding available to members and by seeking additional funding from government and business. The Consortium would also coordinate the establishment and interconnection of networks and hosts. The founding meeting of the Consortium is tentatively scheduled for Cambridge April 18-19, 1991 with 55 participants of which 25 will be subsidized by the requested funding. TERC is contributing to the costs of the meeting and additional funding is expected from corporate sponsors. The establishment of this Consortium represents a novel development for educational reform. It is a conscious attempt to employ a strategy of pooling interests and resources available to states, provinces and corporations and others interested in education to create and share software, curricula and expertise. It envisions essentially public dissemination mechanisms which could result in substantial savings at the school level. Although there are unique factors which favor the success of this particular effort, the Consortium idea might have application in other areas of interest to the NSF. The conference also provides a unique opportunity to both determine and influence the planning of the states and other organizations concerning educational telecomputing. One of the results of the grant will be the broad dissemination of a report that summarizes these issues. This project is jointly supported by the programs for Applications of Advanced Technology and Science & Mathematics Education Networks.
