to stimulate research and development in learning science andtechnology, worked with over seventy leading learning science and informationtechnology researchers over a three year period to produce the Roadmap. The Roadmapdefines research priorities, a development chronology, and short- and long-termmilestones. While the roadmap focuses on post-secondary science, math, engineering,and technology education, its research plan should be useful to all learning markets,including K-12. The roadmap provides a comprehensive strategic view of the learningscience and technologies field which can guide researchers, industry, and fundingagencies as they strive for innovation in educational technology. This paper describeshow the roadmap was developed and
