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.

为了促进新型技术来提高学生学习成果，必须深入了解学生学习和保留信息的方式。因此，技术和学习环境必须共同努力，以实现促进以学生为中心学习的教学方法。为了为未来技术增强的学习环境设定研究议程，该协作项目将进行一系列探索创新学习环境的未来的活动。 这些活动将包括一系列互动的在线讨论，然后进行面对面的研讨会。研讨会的参与者将包括来自学术界，行业和非营利组织的29名专家参与者。该项目旨在为STEM高等教育中的学习环境提供未来。 该项目将考虑与创新学习环境的发展和实施有关的近期和长期影响，机遇，挑战以及未来的研究计划。该项目将包括三个组成部分：1）在研讨会之前进行互动的在线讨论（Microlabs），将向参与者介绍不同的创新学习环境，并从一系列利益相关者那里征求反馈； 2）在为期两天的面对面研讨会上的参与者将从事创意活动，以帮助他们设想创新的学习环境如何改变STEM高等教育； 3）PIS和受邀参与者将综合讨论并制作一份可以指导未来的报告。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
