This topic covers the definition of learning engineering as defined by the International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering (ICICLE), a technical advisory group of the Learning Technology Standards Committee within the IEEE Standards Association.
“
Learning engineering is a process and practice that:
to support learners and their development.
”
Learning engineering seeks to support learners and their development by creating the conditions and experiences under which they can achieve optimal learning outcomes. Learning engineering teams work across a range of domains, applying insights from fields such as data science, cognitive sciences, instructional design, and systems engineering to iteratively design, refine, and scale solutions that are empirically validated and responsive to learner needs. This approach integrates multidisciplinary methods to address learning challenges in varied and dynamic contexts[1].
