ICICLE April 17th 2024 Community Call is a Conversation on State of Learning Engineering: The Future
The ICICLE monthly community call is April 17th at 12pm ET. This month’s conversation will be the “State of Learning Engineering: The Future.” Last month we had a fantastic discussion about the “State of Learning Engineering: Then and Now.” Members of the ICICLE community shared observations, stories, and a few resources. This month we will continue the conversation and discuss the future of learning engineering. What trends are you aware of and what are you exploring as you consider what learning engineering will mean and look like in the future? How can we prepare for it? Bring your voice, energy, and thoughts to this month’s call.
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.
Learning Engineering Background Resources for our discussion on the Future
As we look toward to the future of the learning engineering, let’s return to background resources about learning engineering. What has changed? What is the same? What have we learned that we can apply toward the future?- The Job of A College President President Herb Simon, 1967
- The Need For Learning Engineers (and Learning Engineering) Bill Jerome, April 2013
- Why We Need Learning Engineers Bror Saxberg, April 2015
- Learning Engineering: Leveraging Science and Technology for Effective Instruction, Norman Bier, 2015 (page 30)
- Online Education: A Catalyst for Higher Education Reforms Karen E. Willcox, Sanjay Sarma and Philip H. Lippel, April 2016
- Bridging learning research and teaching practice for the public good: The learning engineer Candace Thille, November 2016
ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference, July 22-24, 2024, ASU
Coming soon! Registration for the ICICLE 2024 Learning Engineering Conference, “Solving for Complexity at Scale” organized in conjunction with ASU Learning Engineering Institute will soon be open, and those who submitted proposals will be contacted. Watch out for those notifications! Get excited for a fantastic conference!
Share your favorite tool on the Tools for Learning Engineering Survey
There is an abundance of tools that ICICLE community engages with to support learning engineering in practice. Share a tool that you are using or want to learn more about in Tools for Learning Engineering Survey. (It will take less than five minutes.) It could be any technology, from paper-and-pencil to large language models. The list will be available to assist you in the future in identifying tools to supporting your solutions.
IEEE Education Week is this week
IEEE Education Week highlights educational programs and resources for students, educators, and technical professionals on a journey of lifelong learning. Check out IEEE Education Society events and resources to enhance tech and business skills that relate and are application to learning engineering.
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 April 17th community call to discuss the “State of Learning Engineering: Now and Future.” The next community call is May 15th, 2024.
