This project is funded by Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) which seeks to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. Over the past 10 years, the PhET (Physics Education Technology) Interactive Simulations group at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed an open-source codebase, the PhET Model-View-Controller (MVC) Framework. This codebase has been used to create a suite of interactive simulations used around the world for teaching and learning science and math topics. This project will examine the potential for building an open-source ecosystem around the PhET MVC Framework. The project’s novelties include an emphasis on the technical infrastructure and design patterns supporting visual, auditory, and haptic displays with diverse input modalities including traditional mouse and touch, alternative input, and through computer vision, object tracking and naturalistic gesture. These features can support users of interactive media created from the PhET MVC Framework across a broad span of human diversity in sensory, mobility, and cognitive abilities. This project will also serve as a critical catalyst, enabling the discovery of specific user, contributor, and governance needs for growth. The project’s impacts will include an amplification of the awareness and use of accessibility features for educational media, potentially leading to greater inclusion of people with disabilities in educational contexts and beyond.In this project, investigators with expertise in open-source licensing, PhET’s codebase, and qualitative research methods will advance multiple avenues of investigation to inform the transition of the PhET MVC Framework to an open source ecosystem. These include: 1) identifying existing community characteristics, community needs, and potential growth of new communities through surveys, focus groups, and market research; 2) exploring existing and potential member processes, structure, and governance models through workshops, discussions with the board of advisors, and participation in NSF training on open source ecosystems; and 3) developing community building mechanisms across existing and new communities through surveys and focus groups; and 4) exploration of utility and feedback on exemplar documentation, onboarding materials, and structures for regional community supports.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的资助是由促进开源生态系统（姿势）的途径，该途径旨在利用开源开发的力量来为国家和社会重要性问题创建新技术解决方案。在过去的10年中，科罗拉多大学博尔德大学的PHET（物理教育技术）交互式模拟小组开发了开源代码库，PHET模型视图控制器（MVC）框架。该代码库已被用来创建一套在世界各地用于教学科学和数学主题的交互式模拟。该项目将研究围绕PHET MVC框架建立开源生态系统的潜力。该项目的新颖性包括着重于以潜水员输入方式，包括传统鼠标和触摸，替代输入以及通过计算机视觉，对象跟踪和自然主义手势的潜水员输入方式，以支持视觉，听觉和HATTIC展示的技术基础架构和设计模式。这些功能可以支持从PHET MVC框架创建的交互式媒体的用户，这些媒体在感官，移动性和认知能力方面具有广泛的人类多样性。该项目还将成为关键的催化剂，从而能够发现特定的用户，贡献者和治理需求的增长需求。该项目的影响将包括对教育媒体的认识和使用的意识和使用的扩增，可能会导致在教育环境及以后的残疾人中更大。其中包括：1）通过调查，焦点小组和市场研究来确定新社区的现有社区特征，社区需求以及新社区的潜在发展； 2）通过研讨会，与顾问委员会的讨论以及参与开源生态系统的NSF培训来探索现有和潜在的成员流程，结构和治理模型； 3）通过调查和焦点小组在现有和新社区之间开发社区建设机制； 4）探索示例文档，入职材料以及区域社区支持的结构的探索和反馈。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估来诚实地获得支持。
