Connected Learning Lab

The CLL is dedicated to studying and mobilizing learning and wellness technologies in equitable, innovative, and learner-centered ways. The CLL’s focus is defined by the “connected” in connected learning, which refers to both social relationships and emerging digital and networked technologies. Connected learning is 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. It differs from technology and institution centered approaches to educational technology in being people-first, prioritizing student interests, cultural relevance, and the life of communities. Connected learning is also a uniquely interdisciplinary and cross-sector approach that brings together the learning sciences, social sciences, psychological sciences, design, informatics, and computing to develop new research frameworks, engage in pressing real-world problems and develop and test breakthrough innovations.
