Abstract
The Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) conference brings together researchers from computer science, education, instructional technology, and psychology each year to discuss critical issues in making effective use of technology to support learning and instruction. The exchange of different perspectives and cutting-edge applications at conferences such as CELDA are vital parts of this dynamic professional community. The chapters in this volume are expanded versions of the best papers presented in Freiburg at CELDA 2008. Collectively considered, they address a wide range of issues and innovative applications involving technology-facilitated learning and instruction. This brief chapter is intended to provide a kind of reflection on where we have been and seem to be going with regard to digital learning technologies.
