[xmca] human learning theory text for grads in education/instructional technology - suggestions?

Dear All,

I¹m in the process of restructuring a graduate-level introductory course in
human learning theory and would appreciate your advice...I remember a while
back a statement that the 2000 NRC report, ³How People Learn,² was de
rigueur in most programs ­ nevertheless, I sensed that folks were searching
for an alternative...

Currently, I¹m considering the Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences ­
is there anyone on the list using this and could they share their
experience, suggestions?

For the past three years I¹ve been using Driscoll¹s Psychology of Learning
for Instruction (to give you an idea of the type students I¹m working with),
but am now in search of an alternative...for one thing, I think Driscoll¹s
text might be too focused toward instructional technology; one of my goals
for the restructuring is to attract students from other programs within
education, while also interesting those in HCI and science and technology
studies ­ perhaps, that¹s a bit too broad, but that¹s what I had in mind...

Thanks in advance!
Michael~
