2:30 – 3:00 PM | Addressing Classroom Use Cases for Broader Impact (Panel) Moderator: Lauren Michael, Consultant, Internet2 Research Engagement While national-scale cyberinfrastructure providers tend to operate out of R1 or R2 institutions, less than 10% of the institutions of higher education and just 6 of the 20 million undergraduate students across the country are represented by these campuses. To meet national demand for educating future generations in data science and computational skills, cyberinfrastructure providers must prepare to engage more broadly than ever before, with a need to understand education use cases outside the walls and resources of campuses similar to their own. Beyond their roles in educating a much larger portion of the nation’s future workforce, smaller and lesser-resourced institutions bring an agile, efficient, and necessity-driven approach to integrating computing and data science in the classroom. With institutional missions centered significantly around undergraduate retention, recruitment, and job placement, many of these institutions also specialize in student experiences that empower underserved minorities and nontraditional students. This panel will further explore the educational strengths of these institutions, their current needs and strategies for computational education, and how cyberinfrastructure providers might support their technology needs in the numbers necessary to achieve a truly national impact. |
