Overview
The Center for Integrative Research in Computing and Learning Sciences (CIRCLS) research community focuses on emerging technologies for teaching and learning. This community includes both awards in the National Science Foundation (NSF) program area of Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning (RETTL) as well as research funded elsewhere that has an emerging learning technologies focus. On September 13 and 14, 2021, CIRCLS hosted a convening on the theme “Remake Broadening.” This report focuses on the strategic outcomes of the convening. The convening culminated with eleven strategy sessions that reported out in a town hall meeting.
