This report is the result of a series of workshops organized by the Computing Research Association and the International Society of the Learning Sciences with support from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. REC-0449247). The purpose of the workshop series was to explore where we are in the application of pervasive computing power to education, and where we need to be. In particular, the intent was to develop a map of where NSF can strategically place its resources in creating the learning environments of the future. The four workshops were: 1. Modeling, Simulation and Gaming Technologies Applied to Education, September 27-29, 2004. 2. Cognitive Implications of Virtual or Web-enabled Environments, November 30-December 1, 2004. 3. How Emerging Technology and Cyberinfrastructure Might Revolutionize the Role of Assessment in Learning, February 16-17, 2005. 4. The Interplay Between Communities of Learning or Practice and Cyberinfrastructure, March 24-25, 2005. This report is based on the results of these four workshops and was written by Shaaron Ainsworth, Margaret Honey, W. Lewis Johnson, Kenneth Koedinger, Brandon Muramatsu, Roy Pea, Mimi Recker, and Stephen Weimar as representatives of the four workshops. A list of the workshops' participants appears in Appendix A. The report was edited by CRA staff Andrew Bernat, Jean Smith, and Daniel Rothschild. The report is posted on the CRA website (http://www.cra.org/reports/cyberinfrastructure.pdf).
