NSF has the potential to lead a new wave of STEM initiatives through its CyberLearning: Transforming Education program and its cross-cutting initiatives in cyberinfrastructure. To continue to lead in an increasingly crowded space of contributors from other agencies, corporations, and interest groups, however, the community NSF funding fosters will need to realize the "transformative potential" called for. Realizing this transformative potential requires vision, strategy, engagement, talent, and commitment to moving forward.
The Cyberlearning Research Summit is a high-profile gathering in Washington DC, featuring top quality research-based speakers who will share visions for the future of learning with emerging technologies, in the style of the TED conferences. Building on those visions, participants will gather as birds-of-a-feather to crystallize a sense of the unique opportunities that should be the focus of the research community now. We seek a community sense of how to couple the learning sciences with related fields of innovation to leverage new technology affordances for the deepest learning outcomes. Through the contributions of diverse participants, the summit seeks to exemplify the "transformative potential" of cutting edge research and development to dramatically advance learning - and is expected to be influential in identifying promising directions for advanced R&D efforts.
To facilitate collegial participation at the physical location of the summit, in-person attendance is limited. The talks will be webcast live on the day of the event, allowing a broader audience to watch and interact.
Agenda
8:00 am - 5:00 pm, with a reception immediately following until 7 pm.
The Summit Program includes about 30 Speakers presenting short, lively TED-style talks on a variety of Cyberlearning Topics.
Conference Hotel and Shuttle
Free shuttle transportation between the conference hotel and the National Geographic Society will be provided on the day of the Summit.

The summit is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (Grant #1132393) as a means to engage the community in accelerating the focus on transformative R&D in Cyberlearning and related programs, and is hosted by SRI International, the National Geographic Society, and the Lawrence Hall of Science, signaling a strong commitment to innovative STEM learning both in schools and beyond schools. Additional support is also provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
