  1. NSDLNational Science Digital Library An NSF program, begun in 2004, to provide access to online materials in the STEM disciplines

  2. Origins of NSDL Program • Support dissemination of NSF materials created with NSF grant support • Followed a series of solicitations for a computer-science based program on digital library creation and use.

  3. History of NSDL 2000 • First round of solicitations • Original funding for MathDL • Several projects had competing Core Integration projects

  4. History (cont.) 2001 • One Core Integration project is selected: Cornell, UCAR, Columbia 2003 • Eisenhower National Clearinghouse’s Middle School Portal designated as an example of a Pathway

  5. History (cont.) 2004 • First Pathway awards made • Teachers’ Domain (WGBH) • CSERD (Shodor Foundation) • AMSER (Internet Scout, U. of Wisconsin) • Math Gateway (MAA)

  6. History (cont.) 2005 • More Pathway grants • comPadre (Physics, AAPT) • Engineering Pathway (UC Berkeley, U. of Colorado) • BiosciEdNet (BEN, Biology, AAAS) • MatDL (Materials Science, Kent State)

  7. History (cont.) 2006 • ChemEdDL (Chemistry, U. of Wisconsin) 2007 • Science and Math Informal Learning Educators (SMILE)

  8. History (cont.) 2008 • Core Integration Dissolved, replaced by Technical Services Project at Cornell and a Resources Project at UCAR • 4-year grants, heavy on front end • Probable end of NSF support by 2012

  9. History (cont) 2008 (cont.) • More New Pathways • Middle School Portal 2.0 (Ohio State) • Quantitative Social Science Digital Library (U. of Michigan) • ENSEMBLE (Computer Science, Villanova)

  10. History (cont.) • Second Round Pathways Funding • AMSER • Teachers’ Domain • CSERD not funded ? • MathDL did not apply

  11. NSDL Summary • 258+ Projects funded • 13 Pathway Projects funded • Emphasis has shifted to support of K-12 Education • Name of program will probably change to National STEM Distributed Learning
