This $729,036 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to determine if virtual field experiences (VFEs) can enhance students' ability to learn science skills and encourage them to pursue science careers. The project will compare learning and attitudinal outcomes of introductory biology and ecology students following the use of virtual or in-person field experiences at three Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). This work is critical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $249,718 project grant titled "RCN-UBE Undergraduate Virtual Experiences as a Recruitment Tool for Underrepresented Students in STEM - The Virtual Field (TheVirtualField.org)" under the Biological Sciences CFDA program. This funding will enable the development of virtual field learning experiences to broaden access to transformative field station and marine lab programs for undergraduate STEM students, particularly those from...
This $268,138 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of the first immersive, online virtual field trip (VFT) that capitalizes on paleontological fieldwork. The primary goals are to: 1) increase exposure to geosciences in high schools and early-college classrooms by incorporating geoscience lessons into existing courses; 2) enhance educational content for traditional courses like geography, math, physics,...
This $185,061 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication abilities. The 54-month project, led by the University of Missouri in collaboration with Arizona State University, will develop an "iVISIT" virtual field trip platform to deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences. The project seeks to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) provides $1,015,310 to Arizona State University to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication skills in STEM fields. Over a 54-month period from July 2024 to December 2028, the project aims to develop an "iVisit" virtual field trip platform that can deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences to students...
The National Science Foundation awarded Sonoma State University a $155,788 project grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support active learning in introductory STEM courses with extended reality. The three-year award running from October 2021 through September 2024 will support the development and integration of extended reality learning modules into the university's introductory science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses. By incorporating augmented and virtual...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $130,022 will develop the first immersive, online virtual field trip (VFT) focused on paleontological fieldwork. The VFT will be designed to increase exposure to geoscience content in high school and early-college classrooms by providing teachers with freely available, geoscience-inclusive resources that can be easily incorporated into existing courses. The VFT will cover core principles of geography,...
