You’re Invited: The Learning Engineering Catalyst
Where learning science meets course design — and you’re part of the bridge.
If you care about making online courses more effective, research-driven, and engaging, we’d love to have you at the Learning Engineering Catalyst — a monthly meetup where educators, designers, and researchers come together to turn great ideas into better learning.
Each session kicks off with a quick dive into a learning sciences research paper, followed by a collaborative conversation about how we can actually use those insights in our courses and tools.
Why join?
- Stay current on learning science research (without the heavy lifting).
- Meet like-minded folks who care about thoughtful course design.
- Get inspired with real ideas you can apply in your own work.
- Shape the future of learning engineering as we grow this community.
- Share your own work and learn from others doing innovative things in online education.
When will we meet?
Last Tuesday of each month at 4 PM Eastern Time, live on Zoom.
📅 Next meeting: April 29 at 4 PM ET
We’ll be discussing:
“Using data-driven discovery of better student models to improve student learning”
by Ken Koedinger, John Stamper, and Elizabeth McLaughlin (2013)
Want to read the paper together?
Join our relaxed Pre-Meeting Paper Reading session! It’s a casual space to read and think together before the main Catalyst session.
