"Technology-Enhanced Learning in Science (TELS)" is designed to undertake large-scale, collaborative applied research based on technology-enhanced, standards-based curricula materials. The Accelerator's research projects utilize software tools and simulations embedded in online curriculum-based activities that are designed to teach central topics in introductory science through student inquiry and collaboration. The curricula are being tested in numerous schools that serve diverse student populations using sophisticated online assessment strategies. Graduate student research studies involve nationwide collaboration with experts in various aspects of their research, utilize a sophisticated technology infrastructure to gather data from large numbers of students anywhere, and incorporate advanced software technologies. This effort will guide educators and policymakers in the implementation decisions being made daily about technology. The products include useful research results for educational professionals, valuable research experience for graduate students, free proven technology-based materials, and professional development grounded in theory and built on articulated design principles and a curriculum framework. "The Education Accelerator" uses a collaborative style of research borrowed from the sciences that is essential to progress toward the full use of technology in education. This approach could well provide a model for other research centers. TELS provides graduate training for 20 PhD students and 100 Certificate students. It also provides professional development for 1,000 pre-service students and 500 teachers engaged in Center workshops and on-line courses.Partners include the University of California at Berkeley, the Concord Consortium, Arizona State University, Berkeley Public Schools, Boston University, Cambridge Public Schools, Mills College, Mount Diablo Public Schools, Norfolk State University, North Carolina Central University, Pennsylvania State University, the Technion Institute of Technology, Tempe Public Schools and Maynard Public Schools.

“科学技术增强学习（TELS）”旨在根据技术增强的基于标准的课程材料进行大规模的协作应用研究。 加速器的研究项目利用了嵌入在线基于课程的活动中的软件工具和仿真，旨在通过学生的探究和协作来教授入门科学中的中心主题。该课程正在使用复杂的在线评估策略为多样化的学生群体服务的众多学校进行测试。 研究生研究涉及与研究各个方面的专家在全国范围内的合作，利用复杂的技术基础架构从任何地方收集大量学生的数据，并结合了高级软件技术。 这项工作将指导教育者和政策制定者每天做出有关技术的实施决策。 这些产品包括针对教育专业人员的有用研究结果，研究生的宝贵研究经验，自由验证的基于技术的材料以及以理论为基础的专业发展，并以铰接式设计原理和课程框架为基础。 “教育加速器”使用从科学中借来的协作风格的研究风格，这对于在教育中充分利用技术的发展至关重要。 这种方法很可能为其他研究中心提供模型。 Tels为20名博士学位学生和100名证书学生提供研究生培训。 它还为1,000名职前学生和500名从事中心研讨会和在线课程的教师提供专业发展。选手包括加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校，伯克利联盟，亚利桑那州立大学，伯克利州立大学，伯克利公立学校，波士顿公立学校，波士顿大学，剑桥大学，米尔斯公立学校，米布尔山学院，北港口大学，北卡恩大学，北卡罗来纳大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳州立大学，北卡罗莱纳州立大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳州立大学，北卡罗莱纳州立大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳州立大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗来纳大学，北卡罗来纳大学，北卡罗莱纳大学，北卡罗来纳大学。技术学院，坦佩公立学校和梅纳德公立学校。
