NSF Cyberlearning Program aims to advance the use of technology in education by understanding how people learn with technology, using technology to analyze and share data on learning, and designing new technologies for learning environments. This grant focuses on personalized learning, outreach to underserved populations, access to learning resources, and innovative assessment methods. Research categories include Exploratory, Design and Implementation, and Integration and Deployment, with additional support for Capacity-Building Projects and a Resource Center. The program seeks to transform educational practices, engage citizens and the workforce, and promote a more productive society. Deadline for applications: July 15, 2013.

| Description:: | Through the Cyberlearning: Transforming Education program, NSF seeks to integrate advances in technology with advances in what is known about how people learn to better understand how people learn with technology and how technology can be used productively to help people learn, through individual use and/or through collaborations mediated by technology;better use technology for collecting, analyzing, sharing, and managing data to shed light on learning, promoting learning, and designing learning environments; anddesign new technologies for these purposes, and advance understanding of how to use those technologies and integrate them into learning environments so that their potential is fulfilled.Of particular interest are technological advances that allow more personalized learning experiences, draw in and promote learning among those in populations not served well by current educational practices, allow access to learning resources anytime and anywhere, and provide new ways of assessing capabilities. It is expected that Cyberlearning research will shed light on how technology can enable new forms of educational practice and that broad implementation of its findings will result in a more actively-engaged and productive citizenry and workforce.Cyberlearning awards will be made in three research categories, each focusing on a different stage of research and development: Exploratory (EXP), Design and Implementation (DIP), and Integration and Deployment (INDP). The Cyberlearning program will also support small Capacity-Building Projects (CAP) and a Cyberlearning Resource Center (CRC). |
