Description: This three-year NSF Future of Work (FOW) project, which started in October of 2022, seeks to address shortages of IT workers, while creating cost-effective, accessible pathways to living wage digital economy jobs for workers who previously lacked those opportunities. The tools and knowledge created by the project could eventually be applied to other STEM-focused community college degree programs across the nation, potentially impacting the lives of millions. This interdisciplinary project offers numerous opportunities to embed undergraduate research experiences related to advances in AI to enable learning interventions, design of interventions motivated by learning sciences principles, or development of extensions to an AI-augmented learning platform. The project will tackle five research questions: First, how can the Knowledge-Learning-Instruction (KLI) framework developed by learning scientists be used to align knowledge components in community college IT courses with th
