Fostering Learning in the Networked World:
The Cyberlearning Opportunity and Challenge

Christine L. Borgman
Professor & Presidential Chair in Information Studies
University of California, Los Angeles

The Task Force on Cyberlearning, which was established jointly by the US National Science Foundation’s Office of Cyberinfrastructure and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, issued a report late in June 2008 on issues involving the use of networked computing and communications to support and advance teaching and learning, complementing much of the earlier discussion of cyberinfrastructure which has focused on research. Professor Christine L. Borgman, the group’s chair, will discuss the report and some of the issues it raises.
