Welcome to NCLT virtual workspace and NanoEd Resource Portal. This web environment uniquely serves multiple users with a two-tiered approach:

(1) information dissemination
(2) networking & collaborations

The NanoEd Resource Portal is a dynamic repository for information dissemination, research and collaborations among the community of nanoscale science and engineering education (NSEE) learners, teachers and researchers. The goal of NanoEd Resource Portal is to build up a comprehensive network and resource sharing to serve the greater NSEE community.

The NCLT International Virtual Institute (IVI) is a web-based collaborative environment for NCLT participants and partnering institutions. NCLT IVI facilitates the development of well-researched NSE educational materials for both pre-college and college classrooms. Upon completion, NCLT research, courses, nanounits and materials will be posted in the NanoEd Resource Portal for public dissemination. Although the NCLT home page is open to the public, certain workspaces are for invited members only.
