This project is providing support for travel and registration for U.S. participants in a key global venue for research and training in the learning sciences via the Doctoral Consortium and Early Career Workshops at the International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) 2012 conference in Sydney, Australia. Earlier versions of these workshops have had an important impact on the careers and research of pre- and post-PhD scholars in the learning sciences from diverse domains such as computer science, information science, education, psychology, and cognitive science. The intellectual merit of this project rests in its selection of top-quality pre- and post-doctoral candidates whose research in the learning sciences holds promise to advance the overall theme of the conference, "The Future of Learning." In particular participants are reflecting on principled understandings of learning to date and considering new and/or iterated theoretical and empirical directions for the field. In addition, attendees are seeking to make advances in the scientific understanding of learning that can inform policy and formal and informal educational experiences of students. This goal is particularly vital given the ongoing and dramatic transformations of society affected by a variety of digital media and communications technologies, fast paced societal changes, and the scale of significant global challenges. Participation in these workshops is an important capacity-building effort that leverages the expertise of the entire international Learning Sciences community and the outcomes of previous workshops. The broader impacts of this project include multiplying opportunities to develop international collaborations in the field Learning Sciences, and supporting the career development of some of the best and brightest researchers in multiple disciplines who work in this area.

该项目通过在澳大利亚悉尼举行的2012年国际学习科学会议（ICLS）上的博士生联盟和早期职业讲习班，为美国参与者在学习科学研究和培训的关键全球场所提供旅行和注册支持。这些研讨会的早期版本对来自计算机科学、信息科学、教育、心理学和认知科学等不同领域的学习科学的博士前和博士后学者的职业和研究产生了重要影响。这个项目的智力价值在于它选择了高质量的博士前和博士后候选人，他们在学习科学方面的研究有望推进会议的总体主题“学习的未来”。“特别是，与会者正在反思对迄今为止学习的原则性理解，并考虑该领域新的和/或重复的理论和经验方向。此外，与会者正在寻求在学习的科学理解方面取得进展，这可以为政策以及学生的正式和非正式教育经验提供信息。考虑到受各种数字媒体和通信技术、快节奏的社会变革以及重大全球挑战的规模影响，这一目标尤为重要。参加这些讲习班是一项重要的能力建设工作，它利用了整个国际学习科学界的专门知识和以往讲习班的成果。该项目更广泛的影响包括增加在学习科学领域开展国际合作的机会，并支持在该领域工作的多个学科中一些最优秀和最聪明的研究人员的职业发展。
