Welcome to the new (American, anyway) school year, folks! Found this
interesting, thought others would as well. The NSF is doing a big push
on STEM education with a focus on the undergraduate level *and*
cyberlearning. It's called Expeditions in Education (E^2) and has a
5-year (2012-2017) plan.
I quote, from
http://www.nsf.gov/about/budget/fy2013/Individual%20PDFs/39_fy2013.pdf:
"For example, "what are the premier approaches to pedagogy and faculty
development for the “connected” age, and how can these technologies be
used to advance a diverse workforce for science and engineering, build a
science-savvy populace, or derive value from citizen science?"
Something to watch for funding opportunities, for those who are interested.
