ABSTRACT
Of all the areas where it is possible for the science of learning to have an impact on educational practice, it is arguably in the use of technologies where research from the laboratory can have the greatest influence. The introduction of new technologies raises profound (but also mundane) questions about education in the future. Learning that occurs in digital environments also offers opportunities for personalization and adaptive learning design that cannot always be achieved in face-to-face educational settings. Moreover, educational technologies provide opportunities to capture aspects of learning that are not easy to evaluate in complex, often chaotic classrooms.
