This half-day interactive workshop will focus on participatory design of future learning experiments that could be embedded within emerging digital learning platforms that are guided by the Standards of Excellence in Education Research (SEER) principles published by the U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences (IES). Researchers (including students), practitioners, policy makers, and others attending the workshop will learn about the SEER principles and opportunities to conduct platform-based learning research on six widely used digital learning platforms before getting the opportunity to participate in co-design activities with representatives/developers of the platform of their choice.

Workshop participants will hear from the developers of six learning platforms and then get to participate in small-group interactive sessions during which future experiments are brainstormed and designed. We hope that these interactions will lead to future collaborations and delivered learning experiments in these widely used platforms. Come with your ideas for experiments you’d like to run in large-scale settings for learning and questions about SEER principles and the issues you’d like to see platform developers address about platform-embedded learning experiments.
