The Institute for Learning Sciences is setting the stage for a groundbreaking transformation in learning. Not just inspiring change but by driving it forward by uniting faculty, students and learners in the community in the journey. The future of learning sciences will be shaped by connecting like-minded faculty and students across disciplines who share a passion and ambition for not just studying but creating the future of learning both in and out of schooling.
Learning ≠ school.
Learning happens everywhere, all the time–not just with children in schools–but in our homes, workplaces, and communities, from birth and throughout our lives.
People are always learning in all aspects of their life.
We need a new approach to learning.
We can’t solve society’s big problems by cramming old information into people’s heads more efficiently; we need approaches that help us all become better learners, to build and share new knowledge.
Current societal challenges need new approaches to learning.
Understanding learning and improving learning go hand-in-hand.
We cultivate academic and community partnerships to study learning in everyday settings, and we design new ways to support that learning.
Dynamic research partnerships drive improved learning.
Inventing the future of learning.
We invent new approaches to support learning through research, design, training and pedagogy that harness the power of the university to reimagine education.
Innovative new ways to support learning for research, design, training and pedagogy.
