NSDL – A Tool for Teaching and Learning Eileen McIlvain Pathways Liaison NSDL Core Integration BEN Scholars Workshop December 8-10, 2006

NSDL Pathways workshops goals…  Build awareness and use - spread the word…about BEN, about NSDL  Connect to user communities  Give NSDL the opportunity to learn in a direct way about unique PW issues and needs  Explore different models for professional development and capacity-building workshops – evaluate for efficacy, share for replication  Build capacity - capitalize on partnership opportunities – shared audiences, shared resources, services, expertise  Build long-term support; sustainability

The National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Digital Library The National Science Foundation’s online library of resources for education and research … …established to catalyze and support continual improvements in STEM education at all levels (K-12, higher education, lifelong learning)

NSDL Overview Funding Agency: National Science Foundation  Education and Human Resources Directorate  Initiated by NSF in 2000 as R&D project, now part of NSF’s educational cyberinfrastructure Scope: Education at all levels (K12, higher ed, lifelong learning, research)  Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Structure: A digital library describing:  2M+ selected online STEM resources from hundreds of distributed collections and services, provided and maintained by many organizations.  10 Pathways portals and over 200 NSF-funded NSDL grantees  All joined by a Core Integration team Columbia University Cornell University University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR)

What is a Digital Library? Documents Interactives Exhibits Maps Services Tools VideosData Sets Animations Images Visualizations Lesson Plans News Communities of Practice Professional Development Remotely Operated Instruments

Where we were… Where we are…  NSDL 1.0 ( )  integrated access to NSF-funded NSDL projects that had released collections  two levels of searching and browsing  community governance and organization  NSDL 2.0 (2004-present)  Building the foundation for educational partnerships - move from a general purpose digital library to a federation of portals each with its own focus (one library, many portals) -> Pathways strategy – discipline-specific or audience-specific portals of NSDL. FEDORA-based technical infrastructure enabling contextualization of resources.

Technical Infrastructure Metadata: Modified Dublin Core with crosswalks to other schema. Metadata are harvested through OAI and NSDL’s repository API Repository Architecture: Migrating from metadata-centric Oracle database to resource- centric, object-oriented, FEDORA-based repository (Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture) Search: New resource-centric search based on Lucene Authentication: Working toward community sign-on using Shibboleth (single login across multiple portals) Archiving: Persistent archive provided by San Diego Supercomputing Center

NSDL Pathways  Educational level and discipline-specific portals to NSDL resources  Built by leading organizations who are trusted by their target audiences  Provide resources, tools, services, and professional development  A method for professional organizations to engage and serve their membership communities Partnerships

NSDL Offers Educators… An organized point of access to the Internet for high quality resources supporting STEM education A source for accurate, appropriate, and relevant information for educators and learners at all levels Peer reviewed materials Resources that support standards

Why Not Just Use Google? The NSDL Value Proposition…  Relevant search results  Trusted providers  Appropriate for students  Contextualized resources  User-contributed content  Peer reviews and other annotations  Aligned to educational standards  A bridge between the education and research communities

Context Resources Tools & Services Partnerships

Publisher Partnerships Established agreements: Scientific American Oxford University Press Journals HighWire Press McGraw-Hill Higher Education Springer Elsevier (books) John Wiley Blackwell Tool Factory Cambridge University Press Books Cambridge University Press Journals Houghton-Mifflin/McDougal-Littel Nature Publishing Group Tom Snyder BioOne National Academy Press Negotiating agreements: Bedford, Freeman & Worth Oxford University Press Books Taylor & Francis SAGE Publications O'Reilly Media/Safari Exploratory discussions: American Psychological Association Riverdeep Interactive Learning Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Institute of Physics Publishing American Physical Society

Expert Voices  Models scientific inquiry and exposes the processes of scientific research  Promotes and facilitates conversations between research and education communities  Brings content expertise into the classroom to support out-of-field teachers  Allows scientists, teachers, and media specialists to collaboratively develop instructional context around NSDL resources Context

How Much Time Do You Have? Find a website Ask a question Create a module Run a simulation Download a resource Assemble a links list Use an existing module Blog on Expert Voices

NSDL and BEN…  What are your needs?  What kinds of outreach are you engaged in? Teacher training? Professional development workshops? conference attendance and booth events? Dissemination  Add NSDL to lists of recommended resources  NSDL search box on portals and partner sites  NSDL toolbar on university department, school, and library browsers
