This project team is exploring how crowd-based technology can support innovation education through feedback from potential customers and users, specifically looking at how the new forms of authentic feedback can be put to good use to support learning better to design, solve problems, and innovate. Research is around issues in learning through collaborations with potential consumers mediated by technology. What are the affordances of crowd-based technology that can support learning to design, learning to innovate, learning to use feedback well, and learning to effectively iterate towards an effective and innovative result? How does use of such technology and interactions need to be scaffolded to such learning? What crowd-based activities and what types of design challenges afford such learning? Foundations are in Learning by Design (LBD), thick authenticity, and Project-Based Science (PBS). A key to America's economic and social prosperity depends on people's ability to innovate social and technical solutions. Crowd-based technologies provide opportunities for innovators to interact with potential consumers and experts while innovating, but they have not been used in innovation education. Feedback from crowds could, however, be used to provide learners an opportunity to receive rich informative feedback on design ideas and to develop solutions that fit real-world needs. This project will contribute to our nation's ability to better prepare engineers for innovation. The technology suggested here will, if successful, make opportunities for experiencing both the difficulties of innovating and the kinds of support structures that can help and will provide an infrastructure for helping potential innovators learn to use feedback from others wisely. In addition, the results of this project will contribute towards enhancing project-based experiences throughout the curriculum. What is learned in this project about supporting learning to design, learning to innovate, learning to use feedback well, and learning to effectively iterate towards an effective result has potential to inform the effective use of project-based and design-based classes across grades and disciplines.

该项目团队正在探索基于人群的技术如何通过潜在客户和用户的反馈来支持创新教育，特别是研究如何充分利用新形式的真实反馈来支持更好地学习设计、解决问题和创新。研究围绕通过技术介导的与潜在消费者的合作来学习的问题。基于人群的技术有哪些可供性来支持学习设计、学习创新、学习如何充分利用反馈以及学习有效地迭代以获得有效和创新的结果？此类技术和交互的使用需要如何构建此类学习？哪些基于人群的活动和哪些类型的设计挑战可以提供此类学习？基础是设计学习 (LBD)、厚实的真实性和基于项目的科学 (PBS)。美国经济和社会繁荣的关键取决于人们创新社会和技术解决方案的能力。基于人群的技术为创新者在创新时提供了与潜在消费者和专家互动的机会，但尚未应用于创新教育。然而，来自人群的反馈可以为学习者提供机会，以获得有关设计理念的丰富信息反馈，并开发适合现实世界需求的解决方案。该项目将有助于我们国家更好地培养工程师进行创新的能力。这里建议的技术如果成功，将为体验创新的困难和提供帮助的支持结构提供机会，并将提供基础设施来帮助潜在的创新者学会明智地使用他人的反馈。此外，该项目的结果将有助于增强整个课程中基于项目的经验。在这个项目中学到的关于支持学习设计、学习创新、学习如何充分利用反馈以及学习有效地迭代以获得有效结果的知识有可能为跨年级和基于项目的课程和基于设计的课程的有效使用提供信息。学科。
