-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] NSF Funding Opportunity - Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2019 19:47:37 +0000 From: He, Wu WHe@odu.edu To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org aisworld@lists.aisnet.org
New and emerging technologies have the potential to expand and transform learning and educational opportunities and outcomes for learners and workers of all ages, making it possible to adapt to their interests, needs, prior knowledge and available resources. The U.S. National Science Foundation's Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program responds to the pressing societal need to educate and re-educate learners of all ages to ultimately function in highly technological environments, including in collaboration with intelligent systems. New skills are necessary for successful collaborative work in new industrial and commercial environments, including working with technologies that augment human capabilities.
The goal of Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program is to support transformative advances of technologies for learning to educate a new generation of students, teachers, and workers to excel or re-engage in highly technological and collaborative environments that require foundational STEM content knowledge. An important direction of this program is to foster lifelong learning with and through technology, particularly in preparation for and within the context of the work setting. This program invites transformative proposals that integrate advances in what is known about how people learn (individually and in groups) with the opportunities offered by new and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual or augmented environments to prepare future learners and workers across the lifespan, in formal and informal settings.
Cyberlearning proposals will be accepted through January 13, 2020. The solicitation is available at https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504984
