BUILDING BRIDGES FROM RESEARCH TO EDUCATION

Cybereducation for Science and Engineering

Few of the advantages of the national cyberinfrastructure will be realized without scientists and engineers who understand the new capabilities that it provides. NCSA staff collaborates with UIUC faculty and others to develop programs to bring cyberenvironments into the classroom. This will ensure that the benefits of the national cyberinfrastructure are made available to educators and students throughout the country.

To that end, the cybereducation staff works with UIUC faculty and students, and other state and national partners to bring cyberinfrastructure resources to education communities. We help bridge the gap between research and education, and conduct a wide variety of activities and programs including those that disseminate advanced technologies to new and established communities to encourage audiences to adopt computational technologies as learning tools in pre-college settings, colleges, universities, and the workplace.
