Where Have We Come From and Where Are We Going? Learning the Lessons and Disseminating Exemplary Practices from the Projects of the NSDL

该项目正在创建一个开放的知识集合，其中包含有前途的实践和从迄今为止的NSDL开发工作中吸取的经验教训。这个丰富、动态的资源包括：i)关于参与者所学内容的反思、故事和回忆（正式和非正式）；ii)与各种NSDL项目相关的文章、论文和演讲的注释参考书目。该项目使用开放机制（wiki技术和KEEP工具包）来收集、创建和共享其积累的知识；就其本质而言，它将这些知识传播到NSDL的社区，以及更大的数字图书馆和技术增强的学习社区。通过民族志方法，该项目旨在确定和突出NSDL社区的各种经历。该项目的两个特殊元素说明了它的智力价值。首先是研究人员团队，他们在NSDL拥有丰富的经验，并带来了他们在技术和评估方面的个人背景，以及他们与过去和现在资助的NSDL项目的关系。其次，该项目利用社交网络工具和机制来收集和组织参与建设NSDL的人的故事和经历。该项目更广泛的影响在于在最初的NSDL项目社区之外分享NSDL“故事”，并对涉及多个机构和协作项目的其他大规模技术增强学习计划的未来方向施加影响。这类努力的例子包括威廉和弗洛拉·休利特基金会支持的开放教育资源运动，以及国家科学基金会正在进行的其他新兴网络基础设施项目。

This project is creating an open knowledge collection of promising practices and lessons learned from the work to date on the development of NSDL. This rich, dynamic resource consists of: i) reflections, stories and recollections (formal and informal) about what participants learned; and ii) an annotated bibliography of articles, papers, presentations associated with various NSDL projects. The project is using an open mechanism (wiki technology and the KEEP Toolkit) for collecting, creating and sharing the knowledge it is accruing; and by its very nature it is disseminating this knowledge to NSDL's communities, as well as the larger digital library and technology enhanced learning communities. Through an ethnographic approach the project seeks to identify and highlight the full range of experiences of the NSDL community. Two particular elements of the project speak to its intellectual merit. First is the team of investigators who have extensive experience with the NSDL and bring their individual backgrounds in technology and evaluation, along with their relationships with past and current funded NSDL projects. Second is that the project exploits social networking tools and mechanisms to collect and organize the stories and experiences of those involved with building the NSDL. The broader impacts of the project lie in sharing the NSDL "story" beyond the initial NSDL community of projects, to wield an influence on the future direction of other large-scale technology enhanced learning initiatives involving multiple institutions and collaborative projects. Examples of such efforts include those being undertaken by the Open Educational Resources movement supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and other nascent cyberinfrastructure projects underway at NSF.
