This page, from the The Center for Innovative Research in Cyberlearning (CIRCL), offers information on the learning sciences, a relatively new field with "influences which include cognitive science, computer science, information processing psychology, child development, anthropology, and linguistics." The overview page includes a summary of the interests and goals of learning science and how it differs from traditional educational research, including its focus on "designing environments, tools, materials and practices for optimal learning" rather than educational institutions as a whole. An issues list gives further context about research methods and theory behind learning sciences. The site also offers substantial lists of further resources and readings for those interested in the topic.
