Abstract

Building on our own and others’ research about productive features of non-school learning environments, we describe a new experimental infrastructure for the organization and mediation of learning called FUSE. Activity in FUSE is mediated by a website and supported by an adult facilitator (typically a teacher, librarian, or other youth educator). Based on emerging research from the more than 4000 young people that have participated in FUSE in 30+ schools, libraries, and summer camps in the Chicago area, we have begun to characterize how the affordances of the FUSE website are supporting a shift in the material organization of learning in the in-school classrooms in which it is implemented. We describe how FUSE ‘remediates’ learning by providing individualized learning pathways, dynamic arrangements for learning, alternative forms of ‘assessment’, new roles for the teacher, and a rethinking of how curriculum materials are produced.
