Information Resource Coordination Team
Team Leader: Barrett Caldwell
Project goal: The Information Resource Coordination
Team (IRCT) was formed in 1999 to examine issues in information technology use
and knowledge sharing, including design of technology to support improved
information flow. There has been a
growing interest both among NISE projects and nationally regarding the needs for
identifying and using online information resources to support an Educational
Community of Practice. The objective of the IRCT is to define and create
improved electronic environments, based on the IRCT group’s combined expertise
in human factors, information science, and engineering design. The IRCT effort
also emphasizes the role of design experiments combining systems engineering
research, engineering design practice, and education applications.
Products:
Two interim reports were completed in May 1999. One report focused on hardware and software needs of students
in an educational psychology course; the second report described designs of a
database for collecting and sorting Educational Community of Practice resources
contributed by community members.
