Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning

The Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning (RITEL) program aims to support early-stage research in emerging technologies for teaching and learning. The program focuses on future-oriented exploratory and synergistic research in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and immersive or augmenting technologies. The scope of the program is broad and includes teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in foundational areas that enable STEM. Key aspects of the program include: • Support for research in all learning contexts, including formal, informal, and workplace settings • Focus on diverse learner/educator populations and developing cost-effective educational technologies • Requirement for projects to advance research in both learning (and/or teaching) and technology • Emphasis on the convergence of multiple disciplines, including learning sciences, discipline-based education research, computer and information science and engineering, design, and cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences
