The goal of this conference is to promote scientific exchange of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of the learning sciences and computer science. Inspired by the emergence of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the accompanying huge shift in thinking about education, this conference was created by ACM as a new scholarly venue and key focal point for the review and presentation of the highest quality research on how learning and teaching can change and improve when done at scale.
MIT’s Office of Digital Learning (ODL) aims to transform teaching and learning at MIT and around the globe through the innovative use of digital technologies. ODL extends MIT’s mens et manus (mind and hand) approach to digital learning, uniquely combining digital tools with individualized teaching, research-driven methodology, an ethos for open sharing, and the in-person magic of MIT — for students at MIT, and for learners around the world. ODL is proud to host the Learning at Scale conference next year. Come join us!

Folks should check out. t.co/bLAv1tIs4t I've used it a bunch and really enjoyed the learning experiences #las17ed
Personalized learning is often treated as the ideal. What kind of data or reasoning support this statement? #las17ed
"We tend to confuse personalized learning with personalized education. Learning has always been personal!" @cristobalcobo #las17ed
Can technology play a role in helping understand creative learning among people (children or adults)? Or any other "goal"? #las17ed
Doroudi encourages us to find the "awesome policy" which uses instructional policy to help all students learn everything. #las17ed
Why are the learning opportunities that happen for #pk12 students not creative? We must offer learning opps for tea… t.co/qskx8wVuEQ
Panel using our #las17ed to gather questions from the audience! t.co/UfYWrUYp7Q

At @las17ed #las17ed, an Ed-Tech type of conference. First key note speaker immediatly starts citing actual learning scientists. Refreshing!
What I like about @las17ed is that I get to meet 50% live citations and discuss more about their research and network #LAS17ed
What are the expectations of disabled learners when participating in a MOOC? #las17ed @openpad @ShaileyMinocha… t.co/41z5sb2V6n
#las17ed @las17ed come to see our demo at 16:30: very cool tools to learn to code in C programming language ! t.co/9s54NzlBN8
Who have been damaged by Basic? @armando_fox talking about cultural programming language impact @las17ed #las17ed t.co/4JRa8MlTXZ
Today @zpardos presents a way for MOOCs to automatically adapt to learners’ real-time behavior: t.co/1Nmpt56a4J #las17 @las17ed
System from @MIT_CSAIL lets you learn a new language during idle moments, like waiting for WiFi.… t.co/4rRlwzZGjs
