Description: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shares the goals of the Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) community in supporting student learning through technology. One of NASA's strategic objectives is to increase public access to NASA education resources via the establishment of e-Education as a principal learning support system. NASA characterizes e-Education as high-quality, content-rich, just-in-time, technology-mediated learning experiences that are customizable and can occur anywhere access is available. As one of the outcomes of expanding e-Education, NASA will develop four new advanced learning technologies by 2008. When completed, these technologies will be freely available to students, educations, and researchers as open source applications. The NASA-sponsored Classroom of the Future (COTF) has developed the Virtual Design Center (VDC) to leverage NASA's e-Education by supporting instructional designers to develop inquiry-based learning environments using NASA education resources. The VDC has formed an editorial board representing renowned professional organizations, including the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS), and provides fellowship opportunities to the members of those organizations.
