The document discusses the importance of learning sciences research in informing best practices for diverse learners and highlights the significance of understanding learner variability. It emphasizes that each learner is unique and that traditional lessons designed for the average learner may not be effective. The agenda also includes designing learning experiences that accommodate these variations, particularly in a hybrid learning context.
