Cyberinfrastructure for design-based research: Toward a community of practice for learning scientists

Document Type

Conference Proceeding

Abstract

This symposium is part of an NSF project to help The Learning Sciences community collaboratively envision a cyberinfrastructure for design-based research (DBR). Like numerous others before us, we argue that the educational research community would be well served by a mutually created cyberinfrastructure that would encourage and support engagement by multiple design-based researchers in sharing knowledge and working toward answers to important theory-driven research questions, moving our field toward a "bigger science" approach. The vision is one in which junior and senior scholars set collaborative research agendas and establish common protocols and systems to support systematic collaborative archiving, sharing and analysis of multi-modal data. This symposium offers critique, reflection, and concrete proposals for design, helping demonstrate the possibility of implementing this idea and moving it toward becoming reality.
