Research conducted by the National Center for Supported eText (NCSeT) is guided by the Center’s Technical Review Board in collaboration with program officers from the Department of Education and Center staff. The Technical Review Board meets face to face annually at one or more national research conferences. In 2006, the NCSeT Technical Review Board met at the annual conference of the American Educational Research Association in San Francisco. In 2007, the NCSeT is holding two meetings of the Technical Review Board; one at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in Chicago (April 11) and one at the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Conference in Louisville (April 20). NCSeT staff use multiple forms of telecommunications to stay in touch at all other times of the year. Below is an abbreviated description of each member of this board.

The research methods section in any proposal must include a large number of design components. This Research Methods overview briefly describes the contents of each section.
University of Georgia Research Plans for 2007-08. Our material development and research design efforts will be directed towards implementing 4-6 studies beginning September 2007. These studies will follow three themes. We will be conducting some studies on variations of electronic supports as they apply to literacy related to leisure-recreation. We have begun developing materials related to passages from the book “The Chronicles of Naria” and are looking for ways to provide electronics supports to current topics of interest such as entertainment and sports. In addition, we are currently developing electronic supports for text commonly found in relation to independent living skills such as cooking (reading recipes) and shopping (vocabulary in grocery stores).
