OOS 14-3 - Educational innovation: Projects and opportunities supported by NSF

Tuesday, August 3, 2010: 8:40 AM
317-318, David L Lawrence Convention Center
Hannah Sevian, Division of Undergraduate Education, National Science Foundation
Background/Question/Methods

Undergraduate education is central to the National Science Foundation's mission in human resource development. The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) serves as the focal point for agency-wide support for undergraduate education. NSF's CCLI (now TUES) and ATE programs at 4-year and 2-year higher education institutions include technological innovations that would be used to improve STEM education.

Results/Conclusions

I will present a synthesis of several projects currently funded by these programs about course, curriculum and laboratory instructional innovations. This synthesis is intended to help conference participants think about how they can contribute new ideas utilizing instructional technology in the classroom or laboratory and study their implementation and impacts on teaching and learning as part of environmental education proposals they may wish to submit to these programs at NSF.
