ICICLE October 18th 2023 Community Call: Learning Engineering Live at Association for Educational Communications and Technology Conference

The ICICLE monthly community call is October 18th at 12pm ET. It’s conference season, and our community is engaged with and contributing to several conferences. ICICLEists are participating this week at the Association for Education Communications and Technology Conference (AECT). They are talking about learning engineering in the capacity of learning experience design, transforming work, tracking decisions while iterating, instrumenting data, and professional practices. We’ll welcome them for a “Live at AECT” on the community call to share what they learned, spoke about and answer questions.

We’ll be meeting via Webex for the community call. (See details below with meeting code and password.) It is scheduled for one hour’s length. Full agenda will be posted here.
