I just opened an IU<\/span> student listserv e-mail announcing the Learning about Learning – Technology – Design (L2TD) web site<\/a>. I spent a few minutes checking it out and, while the the content isn't very deep at this point and the concept is not new, it may be an interesting site to follow based on the background and mandate of the site's development team (see below). The familiar concept – a community based portal to collect and share information about learning technology – is based on a now familiar platform – a wiki. While it appears that anyone can sign up to be a contributing community member, the community leaders approve each entry before any content goes "live". As noted below, the site was developed with the support of a National Science Foundation grant. Per the grant, "The project involves pre-college teachers and undergraduate and professional software developers in teams producing interactive software for K-12. In addition to primary goals of studying multidisciplinary collaborative teams and the impacts of the systems they develop on pre-college students, the project also looks at software re-use and collaborative tools needed for innovative applications of IT in education." The founding members are from SRI International and several major US universities, including representatives from Stanford, Penn State and Drexel. Per the site:<\/p>\n

"The L2TD site was developed with support from the National Science Foundation<\/a><\/span> (Grant No. 0205625<\/sup><\/a><\/span>) with lots of help from the L2TD community. L2TD grew out of the TRAILS<\/sup><\/a><\/span> project (Training and Resources for Assembling Interactive Learning Systems), led by SRI International's <\/a><\/span> Center for Technology in Learning<\/sup><\/a><\/span>." <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
