LA and AI Executive Leadership Academy

at LAK24

A one day leadership academy for emergent leaders

 Introduction

Research in the field of Learning Analytics has made significant strides. However, the potential of LA has remained largely untapped as the transition from small-scale research endeavors to institutionally wide impact has not been realized. Effective leaders are needed who can navigate the complexities of learning environments, organizational policies, and external practices. Leadership is the key to bridging the gap between promising research and meaningful educational outcomes. For the first time in LAK conferences, we are hosting the LA and AI Leadership Academy.

The LA and AI Leadership Academy for Learning Analytics is an exclusive and competitively selected workshop. The Academy is crafted to empower leaders in education, research labs, or industry roles to develop the skills, mindsets, and peer networks to enact systems-level change within their institution. This comprehensive workshop will immerse participants in the pivotal role that leadership plays in igniting change, implementing effective strategies, fostering innovations, driving impactful research, and deploying LA research for impact. Attendees of the Academy, will enhance their understanding and capabilities of LA, developing LA teams, and planning policy and strategies. Attendees will also forge valuable long-term connections with peers and mentors - networks that will provide ongoing support in navigating the complexities of leadership, extending far beyond the duration of the event. We invite you to apply to the inaugural LA and AI leadership Academy and become a catalyst for change and help shape the future of the field.
