RDE Collaborative Dissemination Project

RDE协作传播项目的目标是：1.提高对残疾人如何在STEM中取得成功的认识。提高对使STEM欢迎和无障碍残疾人的战略和资源的认识，包括残疾教育资助项目的结果、产品和机会。为加强区域发展教育资助项目在传播方面的合作，项目小组将领导一个由区域教育发展资助项目代表组成的社区，他们将设计项目产品，分享使资源可用的战略，并探讨在传播努力方面开展合作的可能性和制定计划。他们将创建三个项目产品，并将利用互联网、公共电视和现有网络分享哪些有效，哪些无效，以增加残疾人在STEM中的成功参与。所有项目产品都将设计成可供残疾人使用。产品包括：网站：一个受密码保护的协作性“维基”，它让RDE资助的项目参与开发产品和传播计划，包括那些在互联网上分享项目、结果和材料的信息。视频：一段视频，展示高中、大学和研究生以及残疾员工如何在STEM取得成功，并突出显示RDE资助的STEM残疾学生联盟作为资源。小册子：一本简明的小册子，其中包括关于STEM中所有RDE资助的残疾学生联盟的信息和结果，以及指向项目网站的链接，以获得项目视频和其他信息和资源。所有项目产品都将促进创造性和潜在的变革性概念。项目评估将记录(1)高质量、有用和可获得的资源；(2)有效的分配方法；(3)增加RDE项目的参与度。对该项目的外部形成性和终结性评估将由Gerald Gillmore博士进行。

The RDE Collaborative Dissemination Project's objectives are:1. To increase awareness of how people with disabilities can be successful in STEM.2. To increase awareness of strategies and resources for making STEM welcoming and accessible to people with disabilities, including the findings, products, and opportunities of RDE-funded projects.3. To increase collaboration of RDE-funded projects with respect to dissemination.The project team will lead a community of representatives of RDE-funded projects, who will design project products, share strategies for making resources accessible, and explore possibilities and develop plans for cooperating on dissemination efforts. They will create three project products and will utilize the Internet, public television, and existing networks to share what works and what does not to increase the successful participation of people with disabilities in STEM. All project products will be designed to be accessible to people with disabilities. Products include:Website: A password-protected collaborative 'wiki' that engages RDE-funded projects in developing products and dissemination plans, including those for sharing information about projects, outcomes, and materials on the Internet.Video: A video that shows how high school, college, and graduate students and employees with disabilities succeed in STEM and highlights the RDE-funded Alliances for Students with Disabilities in STEM as resources.Brochure: A concise brochure that includes information and results regarding all RDE-funded Alliances for Students with Disabilities in STEM and pointers to the project website for the project video and additional information and resources.All project products will promote creative and potentially transformative concepts. The project evaluation will document (1) high quality, useful, and accessible resources; (2) effective distribution methods; and (3) increased engagement of RDE projects.The external formative and summative evaluation for this project will be conducted by Dr. Gerald Gillmore.
