NCSeT: The National Center for Supported eText
	NCSeT is conducting a systematic program of research over five years to investigate the effectiveness of nine types of e-text support for five disabled populations through a rigorous program of experimental research.
	Lynne Anderson-Inman, Project Director Mark Horney, Research Coordinator

MeTRC: Mathematics eText Research Center
	MeTRC's mission is to learn how the printed materials used by teachers and students in mathematics classrooms can be converted into electronic forms, and how the increased capabilities in the form, function, and content enabled by this conversion, might increase access to mathematics, and improve student learning and achievement. It is particularly focused on students with learning and visual disabilities.

Current Projects
Project Estrellas: Electronic Supported Text Research for ELL Academic Success
	Project ESTRELLAS is a three-year design-based research project to develop and test three types of eText supports for improving text comprehension and content learning of ELL adolescents struggling to read traditional content-area texts in Science and Social Studies. Students participating in the ESTRELLAS Project are Spanish-speaking middle school students (Grades 6-8) who have been identified as English Language Learners (ELLs).

Project SAIL: Strategies for Academic Internet Learning
	Project SAIL is a collaboration between CATE/CES at the University of Oregon, the New Literacies Research Lab at the University of Connecticut, and four partnering school districts. The goal of Project SAIL is to develop, revise and pilot-test technology-based reading and learning strategies designed to improve online reading and studying by secondary students with learning disabilities. Project SAIL is also to developing, revising, and pilot-testing instructional materials and video-based, interactive, online learning modules designed to teach the strategies for online reading and studying to students with learning disabilities in middle and high schools.

Project SOAR: Strategies for Online Academic Reading
	Project SOAR is a collaborative effort by the Center for Advanced Technology in Education at the University of Oregon (directed by Dr. Lynne Anderson-Inman), the New Literacies Research Lab at the University of Connecticut (directed by Dr. Donald Leu), and partnering school districts. The goal of Project SOAR is to develop and evaluate technology-based reading and learning strategies designed to improve online reading and studying by secondary students with learning disabilities. Project SOAR will also develop and evaluate instructional materials and video-based, interactive, online learning modules designed to teach the strategies for online reading and studying to students with learning disabilities in middle and high schools.
