NEESacademy is under development to support more effective organization, assessment, implementation, and dissemination of learning experiences related to earthquake science and engineering. One source of content is the education and outreach products developed by NEES researchers, but anyone can contribute resources. Using well documented instructional design approaches, a framework for defining and planning the content, assessment, and design-based implementation of learning experiences has been developed. This framework illustrates how a large array of existing individual learning activities can be grouped thematically to provide more comprehensive learning experiences for learners. NEESacademy is built on the HUBzero technology that provides users with tools to easily create richer content and reuse that same content for high impact learning experiences. Pilot programs are underway to engage K-16 educators in testing and developing content.
