Educational A/B Testing at Scale Workshop: June 22, 2021

We are excited to announce our second virtual workshop at Learning@Scale 2021. The workshop will be held on June 22, 2021 from 9:00am-2:00pm Eastern Time.

Workshop papers are being accepted until June 11, 2021! Please visit the Educational A/B Testing at Scale website for more details about paper submission and agenda.

Background
The emerging discipline of Learning Engineering is focused on putting into place tools and processes that use the science of learning as a basis for improving educational outcomes. An important part of Learning Engineering focuses on improving the effectiveness of educational software. In many software domains, A/B testing has become a prominent technique to achieve the software’s goals, but educational software tends to lag other fields in the use of A/B testing, particularly at scale. This workshop will explore ways in which A/B testing in educational contexts differs from other domains and proposals to overcome these challenges so that A/B testing can become a more useful tool in the learning engineer’s toolbox.
