Watch the recording of an “Invitation to Learning Engineering” and review the presentation. The webinar provided an overview of learning engineering by members of our community, explored how learning engineering is shaping the future of education, and highlighted a use case from Carnegie Learning. The case study featured Steve Ritter, Founder & Chief Scientist, Husni Almoubayyed, AI Engineering Manager, and Rae Bastoni, Senior UX Researcher. They showcased insights from the work on facilitating math learning with adaptive reading supports. Whether you’re new to Learning Engineering or an experienced practitioner, the session offered something for everyone.

What is ICICLE?

IEEE ICICLE is a volunteer professional organization committed to the development of Learning Engineering as a profession and as an academic discipline. ICICLE is part of the IEEE Standards Association’s (IEEE-SA) Learning Technology Standards Committee. ICICLE stands for International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering.

What is Learning Engineering?

Learning Engineering is a process and practice that applies the learning sciences using human-centered design and engineering methodologies and data-informed decision making to support learners and their development.

What does ICICLE do?

Since its inception in 2017 ICICLE has evolved into a suite of opportunities for Learning Engineers to explore the range of technical, scientific, and policy matters around learning engineering as a process, practice and profession.

ICICLE holds monthly meetings (third Wednesday each month at 12:00 ET) where we engage with guest speakers who share their work in or related to learning engineering. Special Interest Groups on Design, Competencies and Curriculum, Tools, Higher Education, pK12, Graduate Students and Recent Graduates, and Corporate meet monthly to  exchange ideas to apply and implement learning engineering and develop tools. ICICLE regularly participates on learning conferences across academia, government, industry and non-profit to talk about how learning engineering process improves and enhances learning experiences.

We invite the community to learning engineering conferences. The first learning engineering conference was in 2019 with participants across sectors to discuss the trends across the field. We’ve had conferences in 2022 and 2023. The 2024 ICICLE Learning Conference will be held at Arizona State University in July 2024.

Sign up for the IEEE ICICLE mailing list to keep up with everything related to the Consortium, the International Conference on Learning Engineering, and the work being done in the ICICLE SIGs. Together, let’s define and support the profession of Learning Engineering. If you have any questions, send us an email at [email protected].
