The Learning Federation LS&T R&D Roadmaps: Building Simulations & Exploration Environments R&D for Technology-Enabled Learning Systems

This document is a research roadmap for developing technologies that can facilitate the use of computer-based simulation in learning. This roadmap one in a series of component roadmaps developed by the Learning Federation (www.thelearningfederation.org). . These roadmaps have been developed to provide a vision of where we can go with adequate investment, and a detailed research plan that can achieve that vision – a plan with clear targets, research objectives and priorities, and a management plan that will ensure continuous evaluation and feedback. Our goal is to catalyze a partnership joining companies, universities, government agencies and private foundations to execute the research plan and make possible radically improved approaches to teaching and learning enabled by information technology.
