Learning Engineering @ Scale

Abstract

Scaled learning requires a novel set of practices on the part of professionals developing and delivering systems of scaled learning. According to IEEE's Industry Connections Industry Consortium for Learning Engineering (ICICLE), "Learning engineering is a process and practice that applies the learning sciences, using human-centered engineering design methodologies, and data-informed decision-making to support learners and their development [1]."This workshop is designed as a boot camp for learning engineering. It is structured around a series of micro-learning activities around this definition. Topics include:• Learning engineering is a process • Learning engineering applies the learning sciences • Learning engineering is human centered • Learning engineering is engineering • Learning engineering is data-driven • Learning engineering is a team sport • Learning engineering is ethical These learning experiences are organized based on and include materials from the forthcoming book the Learning Engineering Toolkit [2]. This workshop will also give conference participants an opportunity to give input into models for scaling the profession of learning engineering and formative feedback for iterative development of the Learning Engineering Toolkit.

Science mapping the knowledge base on microlearning: using Scopus database between 2002 and 2021

“…From 2019 to 2021, there was an average of 50 publications per year, presenting a considerable increase compared to 2018 backwards. The growth of microlearning research from 2019 onward reflects its intertwinement with the advancement of educational technology such as online learning, MOOCs (Goodell et al, 2021), blended learning (Leyendecker and Zagel, 2021;Yang, 2020), gamification (Levi et al, 2021;Gough et al, 2021), a chatbot (Yin et al, 2021), virtual learning (Dhinakaran et al, 2021). As illustrated in Figure 2, the surge in microlearning studies since 2019 seems to be attributed to the remarkable contribution of journal articles.…”

Learning engineering: Past, present and future

“…The concept of learning engineering is defined as applied learning sciences (Goodell, Kessler, Wiltrout and Avello, 2021). This definition includes some clues for the benefits of learning engineering in many perspectives.…”
