Welcome to the RWB Community
Researchers Without Borders (RWB) is an initiative of the Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education at the University of Chicago. RWB is a home for open research in education. It is a collaborative working environment in which researchers across academic institutions, disciplines, sectors, and levels of organizational structure can direct their efforts to solve shared problems, do collaborative research and development, and build productive working relationships and collaborations.
This community is a key part of RWB. It is the place to raise and discuss emerging issues, questions and ideas about open research and the RWB projects. Browse each of the groups to see what they are about. If you are interested in creating additional groups, click "Create New Group."
Groups
-
STEM Education
This group is a flexible community space to raise and discuss emerging issues in STEM education, as well as to share resources and experiences through collaborative discussion.
-
Collaborative Research
This group is for individuals interested in exploring ways to do open, collaborative research. The group will discuss strategies, concerns, and examples (if we can find them) of where cross-field, cross-sector, or even cross-hallway strategies for collaborative, open research are in use.
-
Fidelity of Implementation and Implementation Research
This group is for people who are interested in issues pertaining to defining and measuring FOI and exploring ways to use FOI data in research and to inform practice.
-
Sustainability
What makes an innovation last? Join this group as we explore the factors that contribute to or inhibit the lasting of innovations as well as the processes behind innovations moving towards sustainability.
