EXP: Advancing Early STEM Learning through Haptic Feedback Displays
PIs: Anne Marie Piper, Ellen Wartella, J. Edward Colgate Northwestern University Award Details Improving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education is a national priority. Children in the U.S. have continued to fall behind their international peers in math and science scores on international assessments. Not only are students behind in STEM concepts, but they […]
EXP: BodyVis: Advancing New Science Learning and Inquiry Experiences via Custom Designed Wearable On-Body Sensing and Visualization
PIs: Jon Froehlich, Tamara Clegg University of Maryland College Park Award Details As technologies become smaller and more portable, the possibility of wearable computing becomes more and more realistic. This proposal takes advantage of this possibility to help elementary school aged children learn about anatomy and physiology by making clothing with sensors and displays to […]
DIP: Developing Crosscutting Concepts in STEM with Simulation and Embodied Learning
PIs: Robb Lindgren, Guy Garnett, Jose Mestre, Alan Craig University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Award Details This proposal uses advances in multimodal immersive interfaces, such as sensors that allow motion detection (like the Microsoft Kinect) to examine questions about how learners think with their bodies as they make sense of science concepts like ‘scale’ or […]
Virtual Environment Interactions: Exploring Grounded Embodied Pedagogy in Support of Computational Thinking
PIs: Shaundra Daily, Sabarish Babu, Sophie Joerg, Alison Leonard Clemson University Award Details This INSPIRE award is partially funded by the CE21 Program in the Division of Computer & Network Systems in the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & engineering (CISE), the Cyberlearning Program in the Division of Information & Intelligent Systems in the […]
EXP: Collaborative Research: Gesture Enhancement of Virtual Agent Mathematics Tutors
PI: Dor Abrahamson, University of California-Berkeley (Award Details) Michael Neff, University of California-Davis (Award Details) In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education EXP project, PIs from computer science and mathematics education are collaborating to investigate the use of gestures by teachers (both human and virtual) and learners in support of mathematics learning. They are investigating the ways […]
DIP: BioSim: Developing a Wearable Toolkit for Teaching Complex Science Through Embodied Play
PIs: Kylie Peppler, Armin Moczek, Joshua Danish Indiana University Award Details In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education DIP (Development and Implementation) Project, the PIs focus on better promoting science learning in early elementary school (grades K-3). They focus in the discipline of life sciences, with specific focus on complex biological systems. The approach to learning about […]
DIP: EMBRACEing English Language Learners with Technology
PIs: Arthur Glenberg, Erin Walker, M. Adelaida Restrepo Arizona State University In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education DIP (Development and Implementation) Project, the PIs focus on how to address the English-language learning needs of young English-language learners (ELLs). They are enhancing the Moved by Reading (MbR) computer program that has been used to increase the reading […]
