ICICLE Update and June 2026 Community Call with Jim Goodell, Learning Engineering Toolkit Editor and INFERable Founder, and Leslie Wilton, Instructor AI in Education at University of Toronto, on IEEE Standards for Adaptive Instructional Systems (AIS) on Interoperability, Conceptual Model and Classification
Dear ICICLEists,
The ICICLE monthly community call is June 17th at 12pm ET. We are excited to have Jim Goodell, Learning Engineering Toolkit Editor and INFERable Founder and Leslie Wilton, Instructor AI in Education (AIED) and AI Ethics at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto and AIED Cluster Leader, Digital Life Institute, join the community call to discuss updates on IEEE Learning Technology Committee Standards for Interoperability Standards on Adaptive Instructional Systems (AIS) and Adaptive Instructional Systems Conceptual Model and Classification. Come curious and participate in the call to get your questions on AIS standards answered.
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.
Register for an interactive session on Exploring the Implications for Learning Engineering on Tuesday, June 23rd 12-1:30pm to investigate how advances in AI are influencing learning engineering. Bring your experiences and insights on the potential impact of AI throughout the learning engineering process and share with other participants in the discussions. Join the conversation and register today!
Learning about Learning Engineering
If you missed any of the Invitation to Learning Engineering seminars, check out the playlist and watch the recordings to hear case studies, models, and approaches of how the learning engineering process is implemented and adapted in higher education, military, pK-12, workforce, data-driven, and global environments.
In the Learning Engineering and Considerations for Distance Learning webinar, organized by Federal Government (US) Distance Learning Association, Aaron Kessler and Jim Goodell provided examples of learning engineering in action and key considerations about using learning engineering approaches in supporting distance learning.
The xAPI Extensions: A Brief Guide for Learning Engineers by Yet Analytics aims to help teams make decisions where data belongs more consistently. xAPI Extensions provide a flexible mechanism for capturing information that is meaningful, but is not already represented by the core properties of an xAPI Statement. The guide walks through the three forms of extensions: context, result, and activity.
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.
