ICICLE Update and\u00a0October\u00a02025 Community\u00a0Call\u00a0with Jeanne Century, Senior Research Fellow, University of Chicago about “The Case for Component-Based Research: A New Paradigm for Education Research”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICICLE monthly community call is October 15th at 12pm ET. We’re excited to have Jeanne Century<\/a> join the call to talk about “The Case for Component-Based Research<\/a>: A New Paradigm for Education Research.” Jeanne is the founder of Outlier Research & Evaluation at the University of Chicago<\/a>, was a Research Associate Professor at the University for 20 years, and currently is a Senior Research Fellow at the University\u2019s Data Science Institute<\/a>. She will be speaking on how component-based research<\/a> could be applied as a methodology to support learning engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be meeting via Webex<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the upcoming Invitation to Learning Engineering webinar<\/a>,
“Advancing Workforce Learning through Learning Engineering<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be held on Thursday, October 23rd at 1 pm ET\/10 am PT. The session<\/a> will be led by ICICLE Workforce Market Interest Group co-chairs, DJ Jaeger and John Costa. Register <\/a>for the webinar and discover how learning engineering supports workforce transformation through data-informed design, system-level thinking, and evidence-based practices that link learning to performance outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information and links to the Invitation to Learning Engineering webinar series are on our website<\/a>. Register<\/a> for Advancing Workforce Learning through Learning Engineering<\/a> today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying Learning Engineering Principles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Learning Engineering: Collaboration, Context and Challenge<\/a>, Matt Cornock summarises the panel discussion on Learning Engineering at the Online Learning Summit 2025<\/a> at the University of Leeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper, Designing for Transfer: Developing a Skill-Based Simulation Using Learning Engineering Design Frameworks<\/a>, written by Jessica M. Johnson, Austin Connolly, John Shull and Hector Garcia presents a use case in which a skill-based simulation game was developed for novice, pre-hire pipefitters using a learning engineering framework grounded in cognitive task analysis and game design methodologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstracts for the Tools Competition<\/a> ends October 15th. This year’s competition emphasizes responsible innovation and development, advanced AI methods and release of shared public assets such as training data, evaluation tools, or open models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special and Market Interest Group Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Interest Groups and Market Interest Groups<\/a> 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<\/a> for general information, the calendar<\/a> for meeting days\/times and the website<\/a> for updates. (Times are in Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
