The top half shows a screenshot of a mindful math learning tool with a forest-themed interface and algebra exercises, overlaid with a square portrait of Prof. Dr. Tomohiro Nagashima against a neutral background. The bottom half shows the AlgeSpace learning tool interface with a balance-scale algebra exercise, overlaid with a rectangular group photo of the members of LaLa Lab. Below the images, a large banner reads: "The Henriette Herz Fellowship: bringing researchers together for AI that supports, not dictates."

This week, the EPFL IC School hosted the Learning Sciences workshop, exploring how AI is transforming education 📚.

Over two days, experts exchanged insights on the future #LearningSciences.
Thanks to the speakers and organizers, Prof. Pierre Dillenbourg and Prof. Tanja Käser 👏🏽.

IWM Lecture: Media Affordances on How We Talk About
and Represent Narrative.Prof. Joseph P. Magliano (Porträtfoto auf orangefarbenem Hintergrund)
Department of Learning Sciences
Georgia State University:

"In this presentation, I will present a program of research to explore the affordances of media in supporting different aspects of comprehension. These studies explore the affordances of media in the context of a think aloud task. Computational analyses of the think aloud responses showed differences across the media in terms of situational information that is mentioned in the responses and coherence building. While there are likely common aspects of comprehension across media, there are important differences that are likely grounded in differences media affordances in mental model construction.”

📢 #IWMLecture: We are happy to invite you to the next talk about
"Exploring the Affordances of Immersive #VirtualReality for #Learning"
held by Prof. Dr. Jan L. Plass on ⏰Tue, February 11, from 2.30-3.30 pm. 📩Access data for the online lecture via email: redaktion[at]iwm-tuebingen.de #VR #digitalMedia #LearningSciences

We are happy to invite you to the next talk of our IWM Lectures held by Prof. Dr. Jan L. Plass on Tuesday, February 11, from 2.30-3.30 pm (large conference room 2, IWM / Schleichstr. 6, Tübingen).

The talk addresses a broader audience, everyone interested is welcome to join.
Participation online is also possible (please send an e-mail to get the link: redaktion(at)iwm-tuebingen.de ).

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is the use of computer-generated simulations of a three-dimensional environment that users can interact with, typically via a head-mounted display (HMD), specialized controllers, and audio devices. Research has found mixed results in the effectiveness of VR compared to other media on learning, raising the question, How does VR foster learning? In this talk I argue that an affordance approach can provide insights into this question and explain why some studies find positive effects, while others do not. I will present findings from our own VR research at NYU CREATE and discuss the tech stack our lab is using for this research.

It’s time for an #introduction since I’ve been lurking for a while after leaving that other platform. I’m Mike. I have doctorate in #learningsciences and I help future teaches understand how people learn. Prior to academia, I played in bands and recorded bands. Love 80s/90s #metal #deathmetal #blackmetal and #FrankZappa among others. That’s all I got for now. Be kind to others.

What is design-based research in learning sciences? A good question that William Sandoval discussed at length today at EPFL. I keep from this talk the possibility to produce “local theories” from DBR. Those theories are as general as the body of empirical work that links them to practice, but may still be beneficial to the design of intervention for contexts in which they were studied.

Most professors teach, but only some research teaching. For the former, does their practical knowledge of teaching help them evaluate education research? Find out in this article by Vic Deekens, Brian Cartiff, and yours truly. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10508406.2024.2338937
