The Stanford Cyber Initiative is an interdisciplinary academic center, drawing on Stanford University’s strengths in computer science, law, public policy, and other relevant disciplines. The award supports the creation of an Intergovernmental Personnel Act mobility program fellow within the Cyber Initiative that will provide guidance within the federal government on three key policy areas related to free expression and privacy: 1) federal debates about whether the government should mandate access to plaintext versions of encrypted information; 2) ongoing reforms related to U.S. government surveillance activities; and, 3) reforming federal policies that are hostile towards digital security research.

Stanford University’s School of Education focuses on shaping educational practices, their conceptual underpinnings, and the teaching and learning professions. Professor Roy Pea conducts research on how innovations in computing and communications technologies and related educational practices influence learning, thinking, and educational systems. In collaboration with the Gates Foundation, he will use this grant to develop a set of planning activities to help build a new field of learning analytics and educational data-mining, and, ultimately, create the infrastructure--tools, practices and a cadre of experts--to capture, derive meaning from, and use the extensive educational data generated by learners using digital learning tools.
