Our 2025 annual LearnLab Corporate Partners Meeting will be held in person in Pittsburgh Tuesday, May 5-6 at Carnegie Mellon University.

Join us in Pittsburgh, PA for Carnegie Mellon University’s 2025 LearnLab’s Corporate Partners Summit: AI Innovations in Education and Learning Engineering on May 5th – 6th. Registration is now open. Visit http://learnlab.org/index.php/corporate-partners/ to learn more and to register. 

This is an opportunity to:

  • Learn about:
    • Important and recent learning science breakthroughs that your organization can use now.
    • Creating instructional materials and assessments using GenAI
    • Analyzing your data using LearnSphere to create learning curves and support continuous improvement
    • The OpenSimon Tools, a collection of freely available open source tools your organization can use  to improve learning outcomes.
    • and more!
  • Meet other like minded professionals
  • Recruit highly skilled learning engineers and researchers.
  • Provide input to guide our research.

There is no fee for this event.

At the corporate partners meeting, you will learn about the latest learning science and educational technology research underway at Carnegie Mellon University, how we create better learner outcomes through the use of GenAI and learning engineering, and how it closes the loop between instructional design and data. A series of live demonstrations will demonstrate technologies that you can use in your organizations to improve student learning outcomes. We will also have additional opportunities to meet and recruit our current graduate students and postdocs in the learning sciences. 

Our cohort of Masters of Educational Technology and Applied Learning Science (METALS) students graduate in August or December and are available to meet your educational technology and learning science needs. Feel free to reach out to these talented individuals at any time. Contact Michael Bett if you would like to give a company presentation, a talk on your organization’s current research, or host a meet-and-greet with our students and alumni. It’s a great low-cost way to get to know our students, their abilities, and schedule interviews.
