Abstract

The mission of the VaNTH (Vanderbilt-Northwestern-Texas-Harvard/MIT) Engineering Research Center for Bioengineering Educational Technologies is to bring learning scientists, learning technology specialists, and bioengineering domain experts together to formulate and perform new research on how bioengineers learn, how knowledge in bioengineering is structured, and how to best integrate these findings for effective instruction. Our work has been greatly influenced by the incorporation of reports issued by the Committee on Developments in the Science of Learning along with the Committee on Learning Research and Educational Practice. The Committees were convened by the National Research Council, and the resulting publication by Bransford et al. [1] entitled How People Learn (HPL) has been the basis for the overarching framework to situate our research and instructional design activities.
