This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $225,974 to Cornell University to conduct research on designing smart technological environments to enhance collective learning and creativity. The project aims to optimize technological augmentations for improving the learning and effectiveness of work teams, community groups, classrooms, and other collectives. The research will investigate how to give groups agency over the optimization process, examining the parameters that drive group-directed learning in areas like cooperative behavior, collective intelligence, and collective creativity. The project will develop large-scale online experiments and computational models to understand the impact of self-governance on collective learning and outcomes. The research tools and findings will be shared with the research community to advance science at the intersections of sociology, cognitive science, and computer science, as well as help prepare the workforce to work cooperatively in future technological environments. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
