Shelly Blake-Plock, CEO of Yet Analytics, on Total Learning Architecture, will be talking about a standards-based data architecture to support the flow of data through learning and training technology ecosystems

Guest speaker is You! Members of the ICICLE community. Join the December conversation to share LE stories from 2025 and plans for 2026!

Robert Laurie, Director at Benetech, speaking Benetech’s mission to creating software for social good in the areas of education, employment, and social inclusion.

 “A Community Conversation on Data Infrastructure and Instrumentation” facilitated by led by Erin Czerwinski, Manager, Learning Engineering, Simon Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, and Jim Paradiso, Senior Instructional Designer, University of Central Florida.

Avron Barr, an AI and Future of Education expert and editor of The Handbook of AI, will provide an overview of how standards go from publication to broad adoption.

Exploring how learning technology standards can be applied to the learning engineering process, Andy Johnson, Chair IEEE P2881 Learning Metadata Working Group, will discuss on how the standard will enable learning activities identified, tagged, and online to describe learning experiences and ensure discoverability and context.

Professors Olle Bälter and Ric Glassey, innovators in educational engineering and leaders of the Technology-Enhanced Learning research group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology University in Sweden share insights on Pure Question-Based Learning (pQBL).

Jeanine A. DeFalco, an adaptive training and learning research scientist, will discuss how the Recommended Practice for Ethically Aligned Design of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Adaptive Instructional Systems (AIS) standard provides a comprehensive framework for incorporating ethical considerations into advanced, AI-driven adaptive learning environments and how it aligns with ethical considerations in the learning engineering process.

Part II with Will Thalheimer from Work-Learning Research who will share the rest of the story that he started in December 2024 on learning evaluation, data for decision-making and implications for learning engineering.

Deb Adair, CEO, Quality Matters will be sharing how Quality Matters applies quality improvement and quality assurance in learning environments and their role of within the learning environment process.
