In the forward-thinking pages of \u003cem\u003eDesigns for Learning Environments of the Future\u003c\/em\u003e, international teams of researchers present emerging developments and findings in learning sciences and technologies at the infrastructure, curricular, and classroom levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on ideas about designing innovative environments for learning in areas such as biology, engineering, genetics, mathematics, and computer science, the book surveys a range of learning technologies being explored around the world—a spectrum as diverse as digital media, computer modeling, and 3D virtual worlds—and addresses challenges arising from their design and use. The editors’ holistic perspective frames these innovations as not only discrete technologies but as flexible learning environments that foster student engagement, participation, and collaboration. Contributors describe possibilities for teaching and learning in these and other cutting-edge areas:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking with hypermodels and model-based reasoning \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing visual representations in teaching abstract concepts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigning strategies for learning in virtual worlds \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting net-based collaborative teams \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrating innovative learning technologies into schools \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping personal learning communities \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesigns for Learning Environments of the Future\u003c\/em\u003e will enhance the work of a wide range of professionals, including researchers and graduate students in the learning and cognitive sciences, and educators in the physical and social sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489983633\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-88279-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 291\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149821644940,"sku":"9781489983633","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489983633.jpg?v=1779580501","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781489983633","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
