This project develops a process for mobilizing a group of distributed, interdisciplinary scientists into a community of practice that is able to effectively embed technology-enhanced approaches into their work, and investigates methods for enabling collaborative research design. The project uses a combination of education, training, and mentoring tasks informed by creative thinking and problem-solving theory, social science, and organizational learning theory. The project is being conducted with a group of scientists engaged in forecasting the impact of climate, population, and land cover/land use change on plant distributions in the American Southwest, and investigating human and environmental consequences of those changes. There are three academic research groups represented from University of New Mexico, University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University. Each group is approaching the problem from different perspectives ? including field studies, remotely sensed change detection, simulation modeling, public participation and decision-making. Collectively they will develop approaches that integrate the strengths of each. This project will partner the scientists with technology and cyberinfrastructure specialists and make use of our best understanding of community learning and collaboration to collectively discover effective ways to overcome these barriers. The project uses five activities to accomplish its goals: 1) virtual seminars using videoconference technology, 2) graduate student mentoring, 3) collaborative design exercises, 4) training on relevant technologies, and 5) development of a virtual collaboratory. All activities integrate research with education through problem-based, experiential learning by a community of practice in the context of real problem solving.

该项目开发了一个过程，将一组分布式的，跨学科的科学家动员到一个实践社区中，该社区能够有效地将技术增强的方法嵌入其工作中，并研究了实现协作研究设计的方法。该项目结合了教育，培训和指导任务，这些任务由创造性思维和解决问题的理论，社会科学和组织学习理论所告知。该项目正在与一群科学家进行，以预测气候，人口和土地覆盖/土地利用变化对美国西南部植物分布的影响，并调查这些变化的人类和环境后果。新墨西哥大学，亚利桑那大学和北亚利桑那大学代表三个学术研究小组。每个小组都从不同的角度解决问题？包括现场研究，远程感觉到变化检测，模拟建模，公众参与和决策。他们将共同开发整合每种优势的方法。该项目将与科学家与技术和网络基础设施专家合作，并利用我们对社区学习和协作的最佳理解，共同发现克服这些障碍的有效方法。该项目使用五项活动来实现其目标：1）使用视频会议技术的虚拟研讨会，2）研究生指导，3）协作设计练习，4）有关相关技术的培训，以及5）开发虚拟协作。所有活动通过在实际问题解决的背景下通过基于问题的，实践社区的经验学习将研究与教育整合在一起。
