Science Now, Science Everywhere

自由科学中心(LSC)将开发“现在科学，科学无处不在”(SNSE)，这是一个为期三年的项目，使用手机在LSC的三个展会上扩大展品学习。该项目的目标包括对移动电话用于展示学习的能力进行深入研究；开发利用移动技术维持和扩大科学中心以外的非正式学习的方法；调查移动学习的有效性，以此作为吸引更广泛的受众和代表性不足的群体参与科学学习的一种手段；以及激励新一代技术用户参与非正式科学学习。“SNSE”研究将极大地扩展与移动学习相关的教学和技术问题的有限发现。结果将在专业会议上、通过该项目的网站以及在自由科学中心的科学和技术中心协会的说唱会议上传播到外地。LSC将在“SNSE”过程中为ISE专业人员提供在线资源和计划召开的研讨会，并对如何利用项目原型的研究和指导进行审查。合作伙伴包括卡特彼勒移动、罗格斯大学移动通信研究中心、学习创新研究所和Verizon Communications。

The Liberty Science Center (LSC) will develop "Science Now, Science Everywhere (SNSE)," a three-year project using mobile phones to expand exhibit learning at three LSC exhibits. Goals of the project include conducting intensive research on the capabilities of mobile phones for exhibit learning; developing methods with mobile technology to sustain and expand informal learning beyond the science center; investigating the effectiveness of mobile learning, as a means to engage wider audiences and underrepresented groups in science learning; and inspire new generations of technology users to participate in informal science learning. "SNSE" research will greatly expand upon limited findings on pedagogical and technological issues associated with mobile learning. Results will be disseminated to the field at professional conferences, via the project's website, and at the Association of Science and Technology Centers' RAP Sessions at the Liberty Science Center. An online resource and planned symposia for ISE professionals will be hosted by LSC on the "SNSE" process with review of the research and guidance on how to utilize project prototypes. Collaborators include Caterpillar Mobile, the Center for Mobile Communication Studies at Rutgers University, the Institute for Learning Innovation, and Verizon Communications.
