[on behalf of Michael Bett]
9th Annual Corporate Partners Meeting at Carnegie Mellon University
Please join us May 14th and 15th at our popular industry outreach,
networking and recruiting event.
At this meeting, you and your colleagues will have one-on-one time with
leading learning science researchers. You will learn about the latest
learning science and educational technology tools and research underway at
Carnegie Mellon University. Attendees will also have the opportunity to
meet and recruit our current graduate students and post-docs in the
learning sciences as well as our Professional Masters in Educational
Technology and Applied Learning Science (METALS) students.
In Ken Koedinger's talk, you will learn how we are creating better learner
outcomes through the use of learning engineering. We will describe what
learning engineering is, how it closes the loop between instructional
design and data, and how you can employ it. Examples will focus on how
student data can be used at a micro level to immediately improve
instruction and how course data can be analyzed in LearnSphere at a macro
level to continuously improve instructional materials.
