Overview
• Putting to work our collective intelligence about learning technologies R&D
• Our approach:
“Uniting people, technology, and powerful ideas for learning”
• Thanks for support of CILT to the National Science Foundation
• Thanks to INTEL as CILT’s first Senior Industry Alliance Partner
• Thanks to our many CILT99 sponsors

The Situation
• Revolutionary potentials of Learning Technologies
• Decades of strong academic R&D….
• Little influence on school practices, industry
• Many researchers: different strengths
• Many educators: insights from experience
• Many in industry who’d like to work to improve learning and teaching
• We have a need to support young scholars
• By bringing our collective intelligence together, we may augment what we can achieve

Center for Innovative Learning Technologies
• A distributed center for tackling these problems in new ways
• Start-up funding from the National Science Foundation
• Open structure for harvesting knowledge and leveraging diverse efforts
• Working on “theme teams” of high-priority
• Creating CILT as a distributed learning organization devoted to improving learning technologies

The I4C of CILT
• InnovateInnovate– In the technologies we adapt or invent
– In the pedagogies we develop
– In how we work together within and across sectors
• IncubateIncubate– New research partnerships by seed funding
– New interdisciplinary research professionals
• InvestigateInvestigate– Processes/outcomes of using innovative learning
technologies in diverse educational settings
– Design models for effective learning environments

The I4C of CILT (continued)
• Integrate– Compelling but isolated technologies and
pedagogies into comprehensive solutions
– Design and knowledge building practices from diverse communities about how to make learning technologies effective
• Communicate – cutting edge ideas by inviting collaboration to
build a sustainable community of learning

We seek multiple types of innovation
• Fusion of technological opportunity, developments in the sciences of learning
• Creativity from community-based synergies
• Refinement of LT projects by “critical friends”

CILT Themes
• Four cross-institutional theme teams and cross-team synergy efforts– Visualization and Modeling
– Ubiquitous Computing
– Community Tools
– Assessments for Learning
• Each team is led by 2-3 senior researchers– hosts and supports a post-doctoral scholar
– works with a broader network of participants who collaborate through workshops and projects to set agendas and advance new research

CILT99 Process
• Plenary sessions to set context and connect themes
• 5-minute talks to acquaint people (demos; posters)
• Participants together set priorities for new partnership team projects, begin defining projects and roles
• CILT later “seed funds” promising partnership pilot projects
• CILT projects may lead to new grants from NSF or other agencies, and/or be co-funded by industry, or re-direct ongoing grants
