ICICLE July 17th 2024 Community Call: It’s Conference Time!

The ICICLE monthly community call is Wednesday, July 17th at 12pm ET. ICICLEists, you are the guest speaker this month. Share what you are excited about and want to learn at the ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference. Take a look at the 80+ sessions across a range of topics, sectors and applications. Join the community call to get a sneak preview! For those of you not coming to the conference, we are recording the sessions and will make them available with the presentations. We’ll share ideas, applications and lessons in upcoming community calls. 

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.

The ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference, co-hosted with ASU Learning Engineering Institute, focusing on “Solving for Complexity at Scale” is next week, July 22nd-24th, at the Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU in Tempe, Arizona. Participate and explore a rich blend of theoretical insights and practical applications across a spectrum of topics in the 80+ sessions.

Five ways to enjoy ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference:

* Mingle and Meet with others interested in Learning Engineering
* Gain and Share Insights
* Apply Your Learning
* Connect with Resources
* Build the Learning Engineering Community

The keynote speaker is Punya Mishra, Director of Innovative Learning Futures at the Learning Engineering Institute (LEI) and Professor at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College (MLFTC) at Arizona State University.

There’s still time to register! Conference rate is $550. Groups with twelve or more people get a discounted rate of $300 per registration. Students are $175.

Talking about Learning Engineering

Learning Engineering Evidence and Decision (LEED) tracker is a tool used by members of the Residential Education team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) when designing learning experiences as a means to record, revisit, and iterate upon actionable design decisions in an evidence-grounded way. Learn about it in “Why did we do that?” A Systematic Approach to Tracking Decisions in the Design and Iteration of Learning Experiences by Lauren Totino and Aaron Kessler.

Learning Engineering: New Profession or Transformational Process? is a Q&A with Ellen Wagner by Mary Grush in Campus Technology.

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 July 17th community call, at the conference next week (registration is still open!), on the LinkedIn group, or in the Discord community!
