Learning Sciences and Online Learning: Interaction and Influence for Quality Practice and Research

研讨会学习科学和在线学习：互动和影响的质量实践和研究世界目前正在目睹一场革命，在高等教育由于迅速出现的在线课程设计的大招生。与此同时，学习科学研究一直有助于加深对人们如何学习以及在特定学科中学习意味着什么的理解，特别是对于科学，工程，技术和数学（STEM）。改善学习和降低成本的潜力，加上目前集中在新兴在线学习形式上的资源和努力，为开展关于学习科学的研究结果如何为有意义和有效的在线学习教育的发展提供信息以及在线学习工作如何为学习研究提供信息的对话提供了动力。鉴于在线学习和学习研究的快速发展和演变，设计师和实践者考虑学习科学的发现往往是一个挑战。同样，教育研究人员也很难充分了解正在进行的各种在线学习实验。作为对这些挑战的回应，一个研讨会将汇集学习科学的专家和在线学习的从业人员，提供基于研究结果的在线学习经验的设计和实施的建议，概述在线学习提供的学习科学的未来研究方向。研讨会将创建和促进一个新的出版物和社区网站，以更广泛地传播在线学习的研究，实践和资源。本次研讨会的成果将有助于指导世界各地学生的优质在线学习体验的发展和未来的学生学习研究。

Symposium on Learning Sciences and Online Learning: Interaction and Influence forQuality Practice and ResearchThe world is currently witnessing a revolution within higher education due to the rapid emergence of online courses designed for large enrollment. Meanwhile, learning science research has been contributing to an increased understanding of how people learn and what it means to learn within specific disciplines, particularly for Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics (STEM). The potential to improve learning and reduce cost, coupled with the resources and efforts currently focused on emerging forms of online learning, provides the impetus for conducting conversations on how findings from the learning sciences can inform the development of meaningful and effective online learning education and, in turn, how online learning efforts can inform learning research. Given the rapid growth and evolution of online learning and learning research, it is often challenging for designers and practitioners to take into account findings from the learning sciences. Similarly, it is challenging for educational researchers to be well-informed of the various online learning experiments underway. As a response to these challenges, a symposium will bring together experts in the learning sciences and practitioners of online learning to provide recommendations for the design and implementation of online learning experiences that is grounded in research findings, outline future research directions in the learning sciences afforded by online learning. The symposium will create and catalyze a new publication and community site for the broader dissemination of research, practice, and resources in online learning. The outcomes of this symposium will be instrumental in guiding the development of quality online learning experiences for students worldwide and future research on student learning.
