To advance the use of novel technologies to increase student learning outcomes, educational technology must be coupled with a deep understanding of how students learn and retain information. Thus, technology and the learning environment must work together to enable pedagogical approaches that promote student-centered learning. To set a research agenda for the technology-enhanced learning environment of the future, this collaborative project will conduct a series of events that explore the Future of Innovative Learning Environments. These events will include a series of interactive, online discussions followed by an in-person workshop. Workshop participants will include twenty-nine expert participants from academia, industry, and nonprofits.This project aims to inform the future of learning environments in STEM higher education. The project will consider the near-term and longer-term impacts, opportunities, challenges, and future research initiatives related to the development and implementation of innovative learning environments. This project will include three components: 1) Interactive, online discussions (microlabs) prior to the workshop will introduce participants to different innovative learning environments and solicit feedback from a range of stakeholders; 2) Participants at a two-day in-person workshop will engage in creative activities that help them envision how innovative learning environments might transform STEM higher education; and 3) the PIs and invited participants will synthesize the discussions and produce a report that can guide future.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

为了促进使用新技术来提高学生的学习成果，教育技术必须与对学生如何学习和保留信息的深刻理解相结合。因此，技术和学习环境必须共同努力，使教学方法，促进以学生为中心的学习。为了为未来的技术增强型学习环境制定研究议程，该合作项目将开展一系列活动，探索创新学习环境的未来。 这些活动将包括一系列互动式在线讨论，然后是一个面对面的研讨会。研讨会的参与者将包括来自学术界，工业界和非营利组织的29名专家参与者。该项目旨在为STEM高等教育的学习环境的未来提供信息。 该项目将考虑与创新学习环境的开发和实施有关的近期和长期影响、机遇、挑战以及未来的研究举措。该项目将包括三个组成部分：1）互动式在线讨论（微型实验室）将向参与者介绍不同的创新学习环境，并征求一系列利益相关者的反馈; 2）为期两天的现场研讨会的参与者将参与创造性活动，帮助他们设想创新的学习环境如何改变STEM高等教育;以及3）PI和受邀参与者将综合讨论并产生一份可以指导未来的报告。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。
