Below ODDL is FSU Office of Distance and Distributed Learning - the "University wide deployment support organization" FSU-CSIT is "Computational Science and Information Technology School" (where I will work) Some Questions What is process to identify HBCU participants? i.e. other universities JSU FAMU are both first examples and seed points? What is evaluation/assesment mechanism? ODDL? What is role of MSU? Need a section on what we have done/are doing and why we are great Curriculum Scope JSU FAMU ODDL Basic CS MSU Syracuse FSU-CSIT Internetics/Computational Science Is this an area with a lot of existing work we should mention If so what is it for both curriculum development and education research! Curricula seems safest focus as opposed to "NSF EHR" like educational research as in schools of education This is potential weak point as organizations like www.cilt.org represent Education research community party line Research areas Interactivity -- ADD Collaboration User Personalization - ADD Need References especially in Justification area Research (interactivity, user personalization) Budget: FSU-CSIT $200K FSU-ODDL FAMU JSU MSU Syracuse $50K Possible Roles JSU: Process for disseminating to other HBCU; training; installation support FSU CSIT: Technology development, leadership MSU (same as JSU?) Technology evaluation Syracuse: Development of Interactive CS courses; evaluation of tools FAMU: Development of Interactive CS courses; evaluation of tools FSU-ODDL: Testing in established distance classes; assesment(?) Open Source for What? Proposal developed Curricula Also valuable for new fields like Computational Science Not good for base material as competitively valuable Given unclear we can drop this idea for proposal
