Learning Engineering Catalyst

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.

• 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.

The Pre-Meeting Paper Reading session takes place the Friday before the Learning Engineering Catalyst.
Please note that the September reading session will take place one week earlier than usual.

📅 Friday, October 23 at 4:00 PM ET
🔗 Join link (no registration needed)

Please note that there is NO reading meeting for May.

The Learning Engineering Catalyst session takes place on the last Tuesday of each month.

📅 Tuesday, October 27 at 4:00 PM ET
🔗 Register for the Catalyst Session (one-time registration link)

Join us to explore big ideas, share what’s working, and build better learning experiences together.

We can’t wait to see you there!
