Abstract

JLS is a multidisciplinary forum for research on education and learning that informs theories of how people learn, and the design of learning environments. It publishes research that elucidates processes of learning, and the ways in which technologies, instructional practices, and learning environments can be designed to support learning in different contexts. Relevant research settings can include schools, higher education, community settings, museums, workplaces, play spaces, and family life, as well as online and virtual worlds. Work that foregrounds the design of innovative technologies for learning is a priority for JLS. In all cases, however, the fundamental focus is on understanding the processes, tools, and contexts, as well as outcomes, of learning in its myriad forms.
