- Description
- NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) for innovative information technology products for delivery of NASA content directly to learners via various venues such as museums, science centers, and other learning environments. The NASA Learning Technologies Project is NASA's educational technology incubator. This Project is part of the Educational Technology Division of NASA's Educational Program. The Project funds activities that use revolutionary technologies to enhance math, science, computing engineering and technical eduation, and uses these technologies to showcase NASA's inspiring mission, unique facilities, and specialized workforce to promote excellence in America's formal and informaal education environments. The Learning Technologies Projet couples the entrepreneural talents of industry, academia, and NASA to meet the needs of the NASA Education Program to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, and abilities. The purpose of this LEARNERS II CAN is to focus research and development innovations in a direction that will move NASA's technology contributions into the forefront of education. In order to achieve this objective, LEARNERS II will support the development of remote experiences of real NASA missions through virtual presence using computer-based interactive environments. Finally, LEARNERS II will work with cooperative agreement partners to maximize the delivery of these experiences through the immersive technology environment. LEARNERS II seeks innovative information technology products for delivery of NASA content directly to learners. Successful proposals will apply current research on teaching and learning with technology to achieve meaningful utilization of immersive technology in learning environments based upon NASA data and information. LEARNERS II seeks products to contribute to the capability to represent NASA events and mission milestones as virtual events that surround the learner with a visual, aural and even tactile experience. Proposals should include traditionally underserved communities and address accessibility for learners with special needs. The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and organizations affiliated with UMBC are prohibited from responding to this CAN due to an organizational conflict of interest. All submissions will be required to certify their offer is made without association to UMBC in all manners. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 611710 and $6.0M, respectively. The anticipated release date of the CAN is June 15, 2002, with an anticipated proposal due date on or about July 15, 2002. All qualified responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. An ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". The CAN and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will be in Microsoft Office 97 format and will reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/GSFC Business Opportunities page is http://learners.gsfc.nasa.gov Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any).
