Reviews for Learning Engineering for Online Education: Theoretical Contexts and Design-Based Examples

This is a timely collection of concepts and case studies demonstrating the range of possibilities Learning Engineering holds for the development of measurable improvement in the practice of learning. Learning Engineering could become important, as both an academic discipline and a profession, to increasing the reliability, effectiveness, and value of learning strategies and educational technologies at scale. -Shelly Blake-Plock, CEO at Yet Analytics and Chair of the IEEE IC Industry Consortium on Learning Engineering Finding ways to provide effective and efficient online education has proven a persistent challenge. The culprit: a failure to reengineer instructional delivery to suit a new medium. In this timely volume, the editors recruit a savvy group of contributors to illuminate a more promising path forward. -Frederick M. Hess, Director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute If you are an instructor, course designer or academic leader in an online or blended environment who has wondered about this, this book will help you explore how learning engineering can integrate data analytics, learning science and evidence-based learning improvement approaches to recalibrate online delivery for the new digital age. -Anna Mihaylov, Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching
