The mission of taskforce for Life Long Learning at Work and at Home is to create, evaluate, and disseminate high quality research that can be used to promote life-long learning and thinking skills. Some examples of these skills are knowing how to learn, thinking critically, and identifying and solving problems. We are pleased to present audio and video interviews and presentations with some of the leading researchers who are working on ways to make learning last a lifetime. They talk about their own research, the current status of the field of applying the science of learning, pitfalls researchers need to avoid, and their nominations for the top principles of learning. We hope that you enjoy these interviews, which last from 10 to 30 minutes, and that you will you use them in your classes.

| Learning at Different Developmental Stages File Size 123.2 MB
Running Time 55:22 Abstract: How can we develop tools necessary for learning across the lifespan? We need to overcome challenges in doing controlled research in schools. We need to make learning engaging and flexible. In this intriguing session, we have three experts who will address challenges for learning in schools and in the workplace. Session Chair:
Keith Millis, Northern Illinois State University Presenters:
Ken Koedinger, Carnegie Mellon University
J. D. Fletcher, Institute for Defense Analysis
Denise Park, University of Illinois, Urbana-
Champaign | Learning with Technologies of the Future File Size 105.2 MB
Running Time 48:05 Abstract: Learning with Technologies of the Future Technology has the potential to provide intelligent and patient teachers that can respond to learners' moods and how well they are learning. Three pioneers in learning technologies will tease the audience with introductions to interactive learning agents, an on-line program thatteaches collaborative peer evaluation, and a game-based model of learning. Session Chair:
Diane F. Halpern, Claremont McKenna College Presenters:
Art Graesser, University of Memphis
Milt Hakel, Bowling Green State University
James Gee, University of Wisconsin | | Learning Principles—What We Know About Learning File Size 106.8 MB
Running Time 49:16 Abstract: How do people learn? Are there ways to help them learn better? Experts in the field of learning will present research on self-regulated learning with computer-based learning systems, spatial learning, and learning from text. Different social contexts of learning, factors that influence learning, and ways that learning processes can be improved will be discussed. Session Chair:
Valerie Reyna, Cornell University Presenters:

Susan Goldman, University of Illinois, Chicago | Applications of Principles that Promote Performance File Size 109.1 MB
Running Time 47:39 Abstract: This breakout session focuses on three presentations by leading experts in the areas of critical thinking, feedback and creating learning systems. In each presentation, research across disciplinary fields is summarized to develop a better understanding of the factors that can impact learning at school and work settings. The practical implications of this research for the development of learning principles, guidelines, and strategies for optimizing the design and delivery of instruction are then described.
