Please note, these slides were created for the 2016 Program. An updated set for 2017 will be available soon. The 2017 program is similar to 2016, and notes have been made on these slides to indicate some of the changes.

Cyberlearning 2016 (for 2017, the themes are different)

  • The CL16 program
      • Conference vs. meeting…
      • Why Buddies?
        • “Buddy” Ribbons to wear
  • Four meeting themes that will guide working sessions:
      • How can cyberlearning help empower the next generation of diverse learners?
      • How can we create innovative technologies that draw upon sound theories of learning through productive collaborations among researchers, designers, learners, and formal and informal educators?
      • How can we foster an inclusive design community that balances real world problems and settings with promising cyberlearning approaches?
      • How can we integrate contributions from multiple research projects for broader impact (e.g., combining our theories or combining our tools into a common infrastructure)?
