This is funding to support a research colloquium for early career researchers at the annual AECT (Association for Educational Communication & Technology) conference to be held in Orlando, Florida in October 2008. The funding will provide stipends for junior faculty and advanced graduate students to participate in the research consortium. A goal of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) is to facilitate humane learning through the systematic development, utilization, and management of learning resources, which include media in educational settings. Yet, despite research initiatives underway among its members, most are employed within programs where external funding has not been a priority historically (e.g., in Colleges of Education) and the prospects for advancing research collaborations among most junior faculty and graduate students is inherently constrained. The purpose of this colloquium is to provide a forum during which successful NSF-funded scholars personally mentor junior scholars and graduate students in the nuances of developing a systematic program of inquiry, successful grant proposals, and disseminating research across a range of technology R&D problems and issues. Bringing young and creative researchers to AECT 08 will help advance an important and socially valuable research field. NSF funding will significantly impact the careers of the next generation of researchers by enabling a number of them to take part in both the conference as well as the research colloquium. The students and junior faculty will have an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work, and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. Participation will also help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. The PI has indicated that she will act to assure participation by members of traditionally under-represented institutions, and will pay close attention to inclusion of minorities and women.

这笔资金用于支持 2008 年 10 月在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的年度 AECT（教育传播与技术协会）会议上为早期职业研究人员举办的研究座谈会。该资金将为参加的初级教师和高级研究生提供津贴在研究联盟中。 教育传播与技术协会 (AECT) 的目标是通过系统开发、利用和管理学习资源（包括教育环境中的媒体）来促进人性化学习。然而，尽管其成员正在进行研究举措，但大多数成员都受雇于历史上外部资金并非优先考虑的项目（例如，在教育学院），并且大多数初级教师和研究生之间推进研究合作的前景本质上受到限制。本次研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，让 NSF 资助的成功学者亲自指导初级学者和研究生，了解制定系统的探究计划、成功的资助提案以及传播一系列技术研发问题和研究成果的细微差别。问题。将年轻且富有创造力的研究人员引入 AECT 08 将有助于推进一个重要且具有社会价值的研究领域。 NSF 的资助将使下一代研究人员能够参加会议和研究研讨会，从而对他们的职业生涯产生重大影响。学生和初级教师将有机会在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并获得研究社区高级成员的反馈和指导。参与还将有助于培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，让他们在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员之间建立一个社交网络。首席研究员表示，她将采取行动确保传统上代表性不足的机构成员的参与，并将密切关注少数群体和妇女的包容性。
