Specifically, it will address: * How theory, strategies, and methods from the learning sciences are applied to the design of open learning environments and * How the use and evaluation of open environments inform the learning sciences. JOIN US as we bring together learning scientists and developers to share information. We will: * Focus on theories, best practices, and current issues in the field of open education resources, as well as identify new areas for research. * Explore models of effective web-based open learning environments * Discuss ways developers can apply theories, strategies and methods from the learning sciences to their designs. * Discuss ways digital environments can support analysis of student use to inform development and provide data for research in the science of learning. WHEN: *March 10-12, 2008* REGISTER NOW! http://www.cmu.edu/oli/symposium2008/ WHO SHOULD ATTEND: * Open Educational Resource Developers * Learning Scientists * Learning Science and Education Students * For-Profit Educational Resource Developers * Anyone interested in Educational Resource Development or the Learning Sciences WHY ATTEND: * Learn and share how open educational resources can incorporate best practices from the learning sciences. * Discuss your current research interests and look for ways of testing theories within existing student populations. * Hear from researchers and developers who have successfully partnered to further their research and developments agendas. * Explore new ways of implementing research into development and how to use Open Learning Environments to support your research. * Discuss your current work. Talk with colleagues, developers, and partners in industry.
