We are committed to providing research training opportunities that cross a number of disciplinary boundaries, including educational psychology, artificial intelligence, computer science, the learning sciences, learning analytics, and educational data mining. Through workshops, seminars, and courses, we will train the next generation of scholars to use a variety of data-driven methods (e.g., data visualization, classifiers, clustering algorithms, Bayesian networks, etc.) to tackle important educational problems.

Upcoming Research Training Opportunities:

October 18, 2018 (Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania): Northeast Big Data Meeting. Please see details here!
