ICICLE Update and September 2025 Community Call – A Conversation on Data Infrastructure and Instrumentation facilitated by Erin Czerwinski, CMU and Jim Paradiso, USF
The ICICLE monthly community call is September 17th at 12pm ET. Join us for “A Community Conversation on Data Infrastructure and Instrumentation.” This facilitated discussion will be led by Erin Czerwinski, Manager, Learning Engineering, Simon Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, and Jim Paradiso, Senior Instructional Designer, University of Central Florida. The learning engineering community is invited to reflect on how we think about data infrastructure, instrumentation, and access. Through guided questions and collaborative tools, Erin and Jim will share examples, compare approaches, and uncover actionable ideas to strengthen data practices in our institutions.
We’ll be meeting via Webex. (See details below with meeting code and password.) It is scheduled for one hour’s length. Full agenda will be posted here.
Learning about Learning Engineering
