GSoLEN and many of our network scientists were honored to participate in the Global Alliance on the Science of Learning meeting, held in Paris in December as panelists and moderators.
Also, our Director, Kelly Shiohira, moderated a session on Knowledge Brokering at the UNESCO Alliance on the Science of Learning annual meeting. The panel included an international group of experts who presented different strategies for knowledge brokering, and robust audience participation.
GSoLEN is excited to continue to explore and develop knowledge-brokering as a concept and a practice, and invites collaborators to the cause!
We look forward to co-hosting this event with the UNESCO team in 2025.
Our AI Action Collaborative held two important webinars discussing the intersection of AI, the Science of Learning, and Education. We are grateful to our panelists, and their full contributions can be seen on our YouTube Channel. In 2025, moderator Carla Aerts will turn her attention to developing contexts with the third webinar in this series.
In 2024, GSoLEN formed significant new partnerships and grew its membership and social media followings. We would especially like to highlight our new partnerships with UNESCO, AccelNET, International Centre for EdTech Impact, EdCortex, MindCET, and Everyone.AI. We look forward to expanding this list and deepening our collaborations this year.
In 2024, we had the opportunity to highlight the work of many of our scientists, and we will continue these features throughout 2025.
Our first scientist of the month for 2025 is Janaina Weissheimer.
The GSoLEN network strives to elevate learning around the world by building a global scientific infrastructure to address the increasing learning needs of young people in a fast-changing world.
The GSoLEN network of 700 members (and growing) represents a broad cross-section of international scientists, education leaders, practitioners, and policy experts from 60 countries around the world.
Just as the science of learning provided the foundation for developing AI, GSoLEN has formed a working group of policymakers, researchers, AI and EdTech developers and designers, learners, teachers, and parents to ensure SoL guides decisions and applications of this fast-growing technology. Carla Aerts leads this from the United Kingdom. Much more to come from this active collaboration initiative.
