This is the second annual all-hands meeting of the Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center (TDLC), which investigates time as a crucial element in the learning process and integrates the study of learning dynamics across multiple time scales - from milliseconds, to life-long learning. This new science of the temporal dynamics of learning is meant to inform educational practices and result in better learning outcomes. TDLC is a partnership of UC San Diego, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Vanderbilt University and Rutgers University and is based in the UC San Diego division of the California Institute for Telecommunications.
