International network for future learning environment research.
Nakabugo, Mary Goretti; Hamilton, EricAbstract:
This presentation rounds out the Global Learning Environments Interactive Symposium by discussing efforts supported by the National Science Foundation, Microsoft Research, and various international agencies to build research collaborations focusing on future learning environments. The Distributed Learning and Collaboration (DLAC) series of symposia are discussed, involving meetings in Shanghai, Singapore, and Kampala Uganda. The most recent of these, in Kampala, involved delegates from seven African countries, the USA and Japan. A large part of the meeting involved building a research community in mathematics education focusing on the use of what are called model-eliciting-activities (MEAs) in mathematics classes.
