In our application to attend Cyberlearning 2017, PIs of NSF-funded projects with a cyberlearning theme were given the opportunity to nominate a non-Principal Investigator “buddy” (teacher, informal educator, technologist, designer, graduate student, etc.) who could jointly attend the meeting and enrich our deliberations. Interest in bringing a buddy was very high; a subset of nominees were invited to apply, and selection was very competitive.
The Buddies accepted to attend Cyberlearning 2017 are:
| Zachary Alstad | Disability Specialist, VR/AR | Landmark College |
| Jennifer Baltes | Graduate Student | DePaul University |
| Nigel Bosch | Post Doctoral Scholar | University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign |
| Andrea Gomoll | Graduate Student | Indiana University |
