DIP: Digital Studios for Social Innovation Networks
PIs: Elizabeth Gerber, Matthew Easterday Northwestern University Award Details This proposal studies how virtual design studios can be used to support networks of people learning how to become the civic innovators of the future. Supporting learning from design and complex problem solving activities includes providing support for successfully solving problems and achieving goals as well […]
EXP: Fostering Collaborative Drawing and Problem Solving through Digital Sketch and Touch
PIs: Emma Mercier, Joshua Peschel, Geoffrey Herm University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Award Details This project’s technology innovation is a set of sketching tools for multi-touch tablets and tables to allow collaborative sketching and sharing between small groups and a whole class. Sketching is often a means of working out and expressing one’s understanding of […]
DIP: Connecting Idea Threads across Communities for Sustained Knowledge Building
PIs: Jianwei Zhang, Marlene Scardamalia, Mei-Hwa Chen, Carolyn Rose SUNY at Albany Award Details An important issue in education is encouraging learners to engage in sustained inquiry around important content and helping them to continually refine their understandings. Technology already exists to help communities of learners (e.g., those in a class) keep track of the […]
EAGER: WeatherBlur
PI: Ruth Kermish-Allen Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance Award Details One promising approach to support learning is the use of online learning communities. Another approach is place-based education, in which people learn about concepts through their application in the places people know: their homes, towns, and regions. This project examines an existing experimental online community […]
