UC Irvine Launches Research Hub for Connected Learning - Rhea Kelly, Campus Technology

A new Connected Learning Lab (CLL) at the University of California, Irvine will focus on equity-oriented, learner-centered innovation in education technology. Sponsored by UCI's Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, School of Education and School of Social Sciences, as well as the UC Humanities Research Institute, the lab will serve as an interdisciplinary hub for research and innovation, providing an "experimental site for pushing the boundaries of connected learning." "Connected learning happens when someone is pursuing a personal interest with the support of peers, mentors and caring adults, and in ways that open up opportunities for them," a CLL statement explained. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2017/03/30/uc-irvine-launches-research-hub-for-connected-learning.aspx
