February 2012

Next month, watch for a transformed AERA website that will be more visually engaging and more functionally dynamic. The comprehensive redesign, AERA’s first since 2004, will overhaul the graphic design and its information architecture, to make the site more dynamic and user friendly.

The new site will capture all the information on the current site, organized in a more accessible and usable way, and will add considerable new functionality for AERA members, the press, and other visitors. In addition to the new web-based AERA Highlights and new resources for education research and policy, the site will provide a digital gallery of webcasts and video interviews, social media tools, and collaborative work spaces and discussion forums.

During the transition, functionality related to member records will be limited. From March 3 to March 11, the site will be unable to accept online renewals, new memberships, and changes to member records via member login. Members wishing to join, renew, or update records during this period may do so via a special form on the AERA website. They may also contact the AERA membership team at 202-238-3200 or members@aera.net.

The AERA website will continue to be located at www.aera.net. Visit us in mid-March to see our new design!
