💡 Digital Learning at Scale is a Hesse College public seminar series that presents contemporary research on the theories, methods, and technologies underpinning digital learning. Global in scope, and evidence-based in practice, DLS envisions a wide variety of possible topics and approaches, including but not limited to: • Machine learning / AI in nontechnical classrooms (writing assistants, etc.); • Technical papers on machine learning in educational contexts; • Virtual reality in online courses; • Best practices in online teaching and learning;
• Edtech in various disciplines (especially interested in undergraduate/graduate courses in business, computer science, and data science); • Data-based analyses of online courses. Hesse College public seminars take place on Zoom, and are open to the public. The usual format is a presentation of 30ish minutes, followed by discussion. Presenters may be faculty, staff, or graduate students at an accredited institution anywhere in the world, although priority will be given to those with a connection to Switzerland.
