The EMTIRN project, funded by the California Research and Education Network (CalREN) program of Pacific Bell, is creating an electronic community of developing scholars through the application of technology to bring instruction, communication, counseling, mentoring, and consulting to schools, classrooms and communities.

A collaboration led by the Graduate School of Education and 32 UC Berkeley units, 3 CSU campuses, 6 community colleges, 8 K-12 districts, science museums, public libraries, and community agencies, EMTIRN attempts to promote the scholarly development of urban and rural disadvantaged and minority K-12 students, by conducting activities with students and teachers in three areas: 1) mentoring, 2) teaching, and 3) development of on-line academic and administrative information resources. The project seeks to both facilitate the implementation of technology for education, and study its effectiveness in providing the academic and social support critical to scholarly development.

The EMTIRN project is an ongoing collaborative research project involving several members of the UC Berkeley community.
