Panel - learning science and technology R&D: a roadmap to the future of learning

This panel discusses the learning science and technology R&D roadmap developed by the learning federation, a partnership among industry, academia, and private foundations to stimulate research and development in learning science and technology. The roadmap outlines a detailed research plan for developing next-generation learning environments focused on post-secondary science, math, engineering, and technology education. Developed over a three-year period with advice provided by over seventy experts from educational institutions, government, and industry, the roadmap identifies key research priorities, along with metrics and milestones for each research focus area. The panel, comprised of researchers who participated in the development of the roadmap, will summarize the key research challenges, R&D chronology, and five and ten-year goals identified in the roadmap. The panelists will encourage comment from the audience regarding the research priorities identified in the roadmap and effective management strategies for building multi-disciplinary teams to undertake the research.
