Presentation Summary: Cyberlearning refers to how pervasive, intelligent technology infrastructure is radically transforming teaching and learning. In this talk, Hoadley will describe some of the theoretical and disciplinary bases or cyberlearning research from computer science, cognitive science, sociocultural theory, and design, and highlight current trends and advances in how technologies can be used to support a wide variety of models of learning. He will also propose some conjectures on how current choices in designing and adopting educational technologies may either entrench or disrupt current models and institutions of education.
