The project team will develop the EdMod platform for special education practitioners to enter and track information specific to IEPs, such as diagnosis classification, goals, and data collection of those goals. The platform will then generate research-based strategies for teachers to support students with or at risk for disabilities during classroom instruction or in testing. The platform will pre ...

In previous research and development, the developers created VidCode, a website where students in grades 4 to 12 manipulate digital media assets such as photos, audio, and graphics to create special effects in videos while learning about the code responsible for the action. VidCode is currently in widespread use in schools and districts around the country. In this project, the team will develop a ...

In this project, the team will develop a performance-based lab for the high school level. The Inq-ITS Performance Based Labs for High School Physics and Physical Science will integrate "using mathematics" practices with other science practices to study physics/physical science phenomena. An accompanying teacher dashboard will generate immediate, diagnostic, and actionable alerts driven by algorith ...

In this project, the team will create the technology-delivered version of Reading Roots II: Reading "Between the Lions," by integrating content from Between the Lions, including multimedia videos and learning games to personalize learning. To participate in the intervention, students will work for 10 to 30 minutes per day in pairs while sharing a laptop or tablet. Students will alternate in roles ...

In this project, the developers will create A More Perfect Union, a tablet-based and class wide role-playing game for high school students. Using any web browser, teachers will access a library of simulations on a range of topics drawn from the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Common Core History Standards. The website will provide resources to guide implementation, including videos, individualized ...

Our biosensor is made of silicon nanowire arrays functionalized with antibodies to measure the concentration of specific proteins. In this grant we will take a sensor that has been demonstrated for use in measuring a set of generic host cell proteins and we will apply the sensor to measure a set of proteins for a specific cell line. In doing so, we will demonstrate the utility of our sensor to be ...

This project will develop a new scientific instrument optimized for the advanced characterization of near-infrared fluorescent nanoparticles that can exist as left- or right-handed structures (enantiomers). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are the leading current example of such nanomaterials. Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) proposes a novel multi-mode chiroptical spectrometer that can ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS AIMED AT CONFERRING A SPECIAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ON THE INDIVISUAL DISABLED JOB SEEKER. WE WILL CREATE VIDEO RESUMES FOR DISABLED JOB SEEKERS AND CONDUCT A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF VIDEO RESUMESON THE OUTCOME OF THESE DISABLED INDIVIDUCAL JOB SEEKING ACTIVITIES. PARTICIPATION OF THE DISABLED JOB SEEKER IN THE VIDEO EDITING AND PRODUCTION PROCESS WILL MAKE ...

The researchers will develop a dashboaed to assess children as they play games on different social and emotional and thinking tasks.

the team will develop a prototype of a multi-player virtual reality (VR) game where middle school students collaborate in observing complex earth science phenomena, such as exploring the ozone. The prototype will include one VR module which presents interactive content and a website portal where students analyze data and keep a personalized digital science journal. At the end of Phase I, in a pilo ...
