infrastructure that supports community exploration of diverse components and processes of the IT-enabled educational experience. The laboratory would also enable research that meets the highest standards of scientific exploration, thereby supporting evidence-basec3 advancements in the reform of STEM education. One moclel for this laboratory might be the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a national laboratory where scientists examine basic questions about the smallest builcling blocks of matter. Like the Fermilab, the IT laboratory would bring together outstanding scholars from many disciplines to study funciamental academic questions in IT- enabled STEM education: (~) the fundamental processes of learning with IT; and (~) achieving sustainable IT-based education in a STEM-relevant social environment. The laboratory, which would exist in both virtual and physical space, would bring together distributed research on education, learning, and technology; and it would establish a virtual commons for diverse initiatives (e.g., OKI, TMS/SCORM, cligital libraries, iUniversity, Connexions, and Sooner City Project) and link the efforts of pioneering developers and practitioners. Functioning as a test-bed and proving ground, the laboratory would bridge the gaps between research, standards initiatives, and the implementation of products. The laboratory would also facilitate data collection and scalability and encourage the adoption of standards-basec! learning resources through examples and demonstrations. The laboratory would provide a mechanism for sharing experiences and would support the development of quality educational resources. It wouIc3 enable the identification of exemplary tools and processes and establish a beginning basis for interoperability. A detailed organizational structure and work plan should be developer} for the laboratory before the laboratory is established. The organizational champion should be responsible for planning and implementing activities teaching to the 38
