Planning for Broad Community Workshop to Garner Input on Cyberlearning and Cyberinfrastructure Workforce Development

学习的框架、特征和结构正受到网络基础设施（CI）和新兴的计算科学与工程（CS &amp； E）的极大影响，它们推动了CI的发展。我们正在目睹人工智能学习或网络学习的出现，它为正规和非正规教育带来了巨大的潜力、兴趣和兴奋。进入21世纪，我国要想在国际市场上具有竞争力，就必须精通CI。为了满足其预期的劳动力需求，国家必须扩大STEM的参与，特别是CI和CS &； E，并利用CI来帮助扩大这一努力。教育不再是PK-20，而是影响普通公民以及未来和现在的科学家和工程师的终身努力。由该领域的一组精选专家计划的一系列讲习班将大大推进网络学习和网络基础设施劳动力发展的研究和课程开发。美国国家科学基金会?网络基础设施的学习和劳动力发展目标设想了在各级教育和社会中扩展CI知识、技能和机会。开发一种有效的方法，让社区参与实现这些目标，将有助于国家和CI社区朝着这个方向有效地前进，从而最终实现CI在学习、发现、创新、更广泛参与和科学与工程民主化方面的全部好处。

The framework, characteristics, and structure of learning are being greatly impacted by cyberinfrastructure (CI) and the emerging computational sciences and engineering (CS & E) fueling much of CI development. We are witnessing the emergence of CI-enabled learning, or cyberlearning, which holds tremendous potential, interest, and excitement for formal and informal education. For the 21st century, our nation must be CI savvy if it is to be competitive in the international marketplace. To meet its anticipated workforce demands, the nation must broaden participation in STEM, particularly in CI and CS & E, and utilize CI to help this broadening effort. Education is no longer PK-20, but rather a lifelong endeavor affecting the general citizenry as well as future and current scientists and engineers.A series of workshops, planned by a select group of experts in the field, would greatly advance research and curricular developments for cyberlearning and cyberinfrastructure workforce development. The NSF?s learning and workforce development goals for cyberinfrastructure envision an expansion of CI knowledge, skills, and opportunities throughout all levels of education and society. Developing an effective approach for community input on achieving those goals would help the nation and the CI community to move effectively in that direction, and thus ultimately realize the full benefits of CI for learning, discovery, innovation, and broader engagement in and the democratization of science and engineering.
