IEEE Standards Association | ICICLE
International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in 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. 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.
The IEEE ICICLE Conference will be held in Tempe, Arizona, July 22-24.
Join Readability Matters Co-Founder Kathy Crowley, Rick Treitman of Adobe, and Dr. Susanne Nobles of ReadWorks as they discuss the learning engineering of delivering better readability and improved educational outcomes.
Engineering For Better Reading Performance Improves Educational Outcomes
July 22nd, 2:35-3:35 pm Pacific Time
In-Person Breakout Session
The team will introduce the importance of personalizing text formats to improve reading speed, accuracy, comprehension and learning. Research demonstrates that simple typographical changes to format can produce a 20% increase in reading speed and a simultaneous 20% increase in reading comprehension. A student should not complete reading or assessment tasks in a one-format-fits-all model when the text format may be impeding their performance.
Moving personalized reading technologies to the mainstream requires that solutions be envisioned, developed, and implemented. Together, the panelists will discuss the evolution and expansion of the work to engineer better reading outcomes spanning tech, edTech, research and nonprofit organizations. By applying data and learning engineering principles, these collaborative efforts aim to create more effective and inclusive reading and learning solutions for all.
Participants will be invited to share observations, ask questions, and join in building the better reading movement.

About IEEE ICICLE Learning Engineering Conference: The ICICLE’s Learning Engineering conference, co-hosted with ASU Learning Engineering Institute, revolves around the overarching theme of “Solving for Complexity at Scale,” focusing on solving the implicit complexity of learning challenges at different scales, from the individual tutor to massive open online courses and everything in between.
The conference covers a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications across topics related to the learning engineering process, learning sciences, learning analytics, cognitive science, teamwork, technology innovations, and human-centered learning.Engaging sessions, such as Lightning Talks, Show and Share Presentations, Active Learning Sessions, Stations of Exploration, and Showcase Your Work, will actively involve participants and contribute to the advancement of learning engineering.
