An Invitation to Learning Engineering
The ICICLE community welcomes you to an Invitation to Learning Engineering webinar series. Whether you’re new to learning engineering or an experienced practitioner, these sessions offer something for everyone.
- JUST ANNOUNCED: The next Invitation to Learning Engineering webinar will be hosted by the ICICLE Government and Military Market Interest Group on Friday 18 July at 9amPT/NoonET. The webinar will describe a proposed set of learning readiness measures to augment existing technology and human-factors readiness measures used by military and government acquisition and engineering to integrate learning engineering into these existing processes.
- Discover the World of Learning Engineering in Post-Secondary Contexts was held in March 2025 and highlighted use cases with ICICLE Higher Education Market Interest Group members.
- Unlock the Learning Engineer in You on the application of learning engineering in a pK-12 context was held in December 2024 and highlighted a use case from Carnegie Learning with ICICLE pK-12 Market Interest Group.
What is ICICLE?
IEEE ICICLE is a volunteer professional organization committed to the development of Learning Engineering as a profession and as an academic discipline. ICICLE is part of the IEEE Standards Association’s (IEEE-SA) Learning Technology Standards Committee. ICICLE stands for International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering.
Monthly meetings are the third Wednesday of the month at 12pm ET. In July, the Invitation to Learning Engineering will be held on Friday, July 18th. No community call will be held in July. The next community call is August 18th 2025 at 12pm ET. Details to join the community call will be here and the agenda. For updates, read the June 2025 Newsletter. Previous newsletters are here.

What is Learning Engineering?
Learning Engineering is a process and practice that applies the learning sciences using human-centered design and engineering methodologies and data-informed decision making to support learners and their development.
What does ICICLE do?
Since its inception in 2017 ICICLE has evolved into a suite of opportunities for Learning Engineers to explore the range of technical, scientific, and policy matters around learning engineering as a process, practice and profession.
ICICLE holds monthly meetings (third Wednesday each month at 12:00 ET) where we engage with guest speakers who share their work in or related to learning engineering. Special Interest Groups on Design, Competencies and Curriculum, Tools, Higher Education, pK12, Graduate Students and Recent Graduates, and Corporate meet monthly to exchange ideas to apply and implement learning engineering and develop tools. ICICLE regularly participates on learning conferences across academia, government, industry and non-profit to talk about how learning engineering process improves and enhances learning experiences.
We invite the community to learning engineering conferences. The first learning engineering conference was in 2019 with participants across sectors to discuss the trends across the field. We’ve had conferences in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Sign up for the IEEE ICICLE mailing list to keep up with everything related to the Consortium, the International Conference on Learning Engineering, and the work being done in the ICICLE SIGs. Together, let’s define and support the profession of Learning Engineering. If you have any questions, send us an email at ieeeicicle@gmail.com.
