Learning technology researchers have long spoken of broader horizons, broad teamwork, broadening participation, broader impacts, and more. Our theme engaged with the importance of thinking critically and strategically about the meaning of “broad” as our field conducts future-oriented research on learning and teaching technologies. Our prior CL19 convening revealed WHY broadening the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within our research projects is so important. CIRCLS’21 provided multiple, highly interactive opportunities for attendees to work together on HOW the field can make stronger progress by examining and remaking “broad” and lead to greater impacts?
