ICICLE September 2024 Community Call: Dan Jarratt, Chief Technical and Innovation Officer, and Thomas Christie, Director of Learning Engineering, Learning Engineering Virtual Institute

The ICICLE monthly community call is Wednesday, September 18th at 12pm ET. We are excited to have Daniel Jarratt, Chief Technical and Innovation Officer, and Thomas Christie, Director of Learning Engineering of the Learning Engineering Virtual Institute (LEVI) join the call. LEVI aims to create interventions that will double the rate of middle school math progress for low-income students. The Institute collaborates with several teams to develop interventions to tackle this goal. Daniel and Thomas will be speaking about the collaborations, tools and projects at LEVI and how learning engineering shapes the process.

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.

Talking about Learning Engineering

Enterprise Learning Engineering (ELE), US Air Force
The Air Education and Training Command (AETC), Department of the Air Force (DAF) is establishing the Enterprise Learning Engineering (ELE) Center of Excellence (CoE). The ELE CoE will be designed to enhance learning engineering and accelerate learning and retention for students, faculty, and staffs across the DAF. 

Tools Competition
The Learning Engineering Tools Competition leverages digital technology, big data, and learning science to meet the needs of learners. This year’s Tools Competition will award prizes ranging from $50k-$300k to teams for innovative technologies serving learners from K-12 through post secondary education and a new prize for teams releasing education-focused datasets. Abstracts are being accepted until October 25th. Check out the winners from the past Tools Competitions.

Call for ICICLE Conference Proceedings and Reflections

For those who participated in the conference and those who will be exploring conference artifacts we invite you to share your Conference Reflections, and we invite presenters at the conference to contribute to Conference Proceedings. They are due September 30th. Information can be found on the ICICLE website

Special and Market Interest Group Work

Special Interest Groups and Market Interest Groups is where much of the work in ICICLE happens. The groups develop resources and document experiences for the learning engineering community. Participate in one, two or all of them.

Please check SIG/MIG page for general information and the calendar and website for updates to meeting days/times. (Times are in Eastern Time.)

We look forward to seeing you at our September 18th community call with Daniel Jarratt, Chief Technical and Innovation Officer, and Thomas Christie, Director of Learning Engineering of the Learning Engineering Virtual Institute (LEVI), on the LinkedIn group, or in the Discord community.
