Learning Sciences
Researchers at the iSchool involved in the learning sciences advance knowledge of the learning process and the design of innovative learning environments and technologies.
Through an interdisciplinary connection between human-computer interaction, education, and library and information sciences, our work focuses on how technologies shape, and are being shaped, by learning and collaboration in a variety of real-world settings, such as classrooms, libraries and museums, peer and family contexts, and online communities.
