The National Center for Supported eText supports research in a variety of types and settings around the country. The articles below describe aspects of this work.
NCSeT is currently supporting the analysis of two existing data sets for the purposes of answering questions related to the efficacy of specific etext supports. The following two collaborations have been established by NCSeT to enable these analyses.

NCSeT is currently supporting two doctoral students as they conduct individual experimental studies on the effectiveness of “supported etext”. Each study is focused on one etext support, investigating its effectiveness to improve the reading comprehension of a specific student population. The following two doctoral students are conducting individual experimental studies supported by NCSeT.

NCSeT is currently supporting three individual experimental studies on the effectiveness of “supported etext”. Each study is focused on one or more specific etext support and is working with one or more specific student population. These individual etext studies build on prior work by a participating researcher and/or take advantage of an established resource base for project implementation. NCSeT has made a one-year commitment to each site. Although not required, it is hoped that NCSeT support can be leveraged into additional funding from sources beyond those available through NCSeT. The following three research teams are conducting individual experimental studies supported by NCSeT.

NCSeT is currently supporting seven research teams across the country as they conduct a strand of research on “supported etext”. Each team is focused on one or more specific etext support and is working with one or more specific student population. NCSeT has made a three year commitment to each research team, designed to support a strand of research that goes through three phases.
