Our theme for 2012 is the Future of Learning, and the conference will hosts workshops, panels, symposia, paper and poster sessions, and keynotes by leaders in the field, reflecting on what we have learned so far and considering directions for the future;. It's an opportunity to share and gain insight into critical debate and new research findings across the various disciplines of the learning sciences.
