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

学习科学与在线学习：对高质量实践与研究的互动与影响由于为大规模招生而设计的在线课程的迅速出现，目前世界正在目睹高等教育领域的一场革命。与此同时，学习科学研究有助于加深对人们如何学习以及在特定学科中学习的意义的理解，特别是在科学、工程、技术和数学（STEM）领域。改善学习和降低成本的潜力，加上目前关注在线学习新兴形式的资源和努力，提供了进行对话的动力，讨论学习科学的发现如何为有意义和有效的在线学习教育的发展提供信息，反过来，在线学习的努力如何为学习研究提供信息。鉴于在线学习和学习研究的快速发展和演变，设计师和实践者往往很难考虑到学习科学的发现。同样，教育研究人员要充分了解正在进行的各种在线学习实验也是一项挑战。作为对这些挑战的回应，研讨会将汇集学习科学的专家和在线学习的实践者，为基于研究成果的在线学习体验的设计和实施提供建议，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，以便更广泛地传播在线学习方面的研究、实践和资源。本次研讨会的成果将有助于指导全球学生优质在线学习体验的发展以及未来对学生学习的研究。

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.
