A. NSF 05-551 does not have educational technology as an application area. The focus of the Advanced Learning Technologies program (ALT; http://www.nsf.gov/alt) is on integrative research built around well-defined learning and technology goals. Projects should advance research in both computer science and human learning. Large-scale studies, infrastructure, large-scale system development, or educational materials development will not be supported under this program. Educational foci for ALT projects must include an area of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), or general cross-cutting skills directly relevant to STEM. Proposers are strongly discouraged from submitting closely related proposals to the IIS solicitation and to ALT. If learning and educational goals are a primary motivation of a proposal, it should be submitted to ALT.
