[TOS] NSF E^2 initiative focuses on undergrad pedagogy & cyberlearning

[Mel Chua]

Welcome to the new (American, anyway) school year, folks! Found this 
interesting, thought others would as well. The NSF is doing a big push 
on STEM education with a focus on the undergraduate level *and* 
cyberlearning. It's called Expeditions in Education (E^2) and has a 
5-year (2012-2017) plan.

I quote, from 
http://www.nsf.gov/about/budget/fy2013/Individual%20PDFs/39_fy2013.pdf: 
"For example, "what are the premier approaches to pedagogy and faculty 
development for the “connected” age, and how can these technologies be 
used to advance a diverse workforce for science and engineering, build a 
science-savvy populace, or derive value from citizen science?"

Something to watch for funding opportunities, for those who are interested.
