5 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Help build a vibrant cyberlearning field by promoting cross-disciplinary communities of cyberlearning researchers and practitioners including technologists, educators, domain scientists, and social scientists.
5 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
2. Instill a “platform perspective”—shared, interoperable designs of hardware, software, and services—into NSF’s cyberlearning activities.
3. Emphasize the transformative power of information and communications technology for learning, from K to grey. Technologies that allow interaction with scientific data, visualizations, remote and virtual laboratories.....
5 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
4. Adopt programs and policies to promote open educational resources.
5. Take responsibility for sustaining NSF-sponsored cyberlearning innovations. Educational materials and learning innovations need to flourish beyond the funding of a grant.

Digital Marketplace Project& Academic Technology eFramework
George WardLead ArchitectAcademic Technology ServicesCalifornia State University
Digital Marketplace Defined
Enable the effective discovery and distribution of network-based digital goods and resources in support of CSU’s mission to provide students with access to a high-quality education.
Key Objectives of Digital Marketplace:– Choice – Provide an efficient “one-stop shopping”
service with a variety of instructional materials necessary to succeed academically.
– Affordability – Reduce the cost of instructional materials to students. Reduce the time and total cost of education for the institution.
– Accessibility – Ease of access to instructional materials for all students.
Academic eFramework
CSU eFramework is designed to create a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) to enable scalable and reusable common core services that are essential for CSU’s programs. These common services will be reused across projects that have like functionality needs.
The first application of these services will be the Digital Marketplace with the next projects being considered are Student Academic Planning and Math remediation
