Roy Pea is Director of the Center for Technology in Learning (CTL) at SRI International, in Menlo Park, California, and Consulting Professor in the School of Education at Stanford University. He also directs the  multi-institutional Center for Innovative Learning Technologies (CILT), newly funded by the National Science Foundation. One of its aims it to create a national knowledge network for catalyzing best practices and new designs for improving learning with technologies among researchers, schools, and industries. He was a John Evans Professor of Education and the Learning Sciences at Northwestern University (1991-1996), where he founded and chaired the Learning Sciences Ph.D. Program, and served as Dean of the School of Education and Social Policy. He works as a cognitive scientist to integrate theory, research, and the design of effective learning environments using advanced technologies, with particular focus on science, mathematics, and technology. During 1995-96, he was a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Pea is a Fellow of the American Psychological Society. His consulting has included education program advisement for Ameritech, Apple Computer, ETS, George Lucas Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Mellon Foundation, National Science Foundation, Russell Sage Foundation, Sloan Foundation, Spencer Foundation, the states of Illinois and California, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. He has published over 100 chapters and articles on cognition, education, and learning technologies. In 1978, he received his doctorate in developmental psychology from the University of Oxford, England, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.
