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.

学习科学与在线学习研讨会：质量实践和研究的相互作用和影响由于面向大规模招生的在线课程的迅速出现，世界目前正在见证高等教育领域的一场革命。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内学习意味着什么的理解，特别是在科学、工程、技术和数学 (STEM) 方面。改善学习和降低成本的潜力，加上目前专注于新兴在线学习形式的资源和努力，为开展对话提供了动力，探讨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，在线学习工作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发展，设计者和实践者考虑学习科学的发现通常具有挑战性。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。为了应对这些挑战，研讨会将汇集学习科学领域的专家和在线学习的实践者，为基于研究结果的在线学习体验的设计和实施提供建议，概述学习科学的未来研究方向通过在线学习。该研讨会将创建并推动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为全世界学生开发优质的在线学习体验以及未来的学生学习研究。
