Vision
The Learning Engineering Institute envisions a future where every learner has the conditions, tools and opportunities to succeed in their education pathway and beyond.
Mission
Our mission is to enhance student success and well-being by co-creating inclusive, evidence-based and scalable innovations through collaborative research, and the development of talent, tools and technologies using principles of learning engineering.
Serving as a collaborative space, the institute brings together people from different parts of the university, tied together not by ego, but by the ASU Charter and a shared mission to improve student outcomes.
Values
Our values guide how we work, lead and collaborate.
Human-centered inquiry
We place the goals, needs and lived experiences of learners, educators and stakeholders at the heart of our design and research processes.
Radical collaboration
We intentionally assemble interdisciplinary teams across sectors and institutions, honoring each partner’s expertise and perspective.
Innovative technology
We create technologies inspired by transdisciplinary, collaborative learning engineering approaches that are scalable across domains, contexts and populations.
Inclusivity by design
We embed equity, access and representation in every project and partnership, ensuring diverse perspectives are empowered from ideation to implementation
Evidence-informed action
We ground decisions in high-quality data, theory and context, pursuing rapid and iterative cycles of design, evaluation and refinement.
Integrity and impact
We uphold ethical standards, champion principled innovation and pursue measurable, meaningful change for learners at scale.
Research into practice
Advancing applied practice and knowledge discovery within learning engineering.
Opportunities and resources
Empowering ASU communities through seed grants, education programs and more.
Partnerships
Accelerating our impact through strategic multidisciplinary collaboration.
What is learning engineering?
Learning engineering is a human-centered, iterative and evidence-based process of identifying critical needs and opportunities within educational settings; developing and refining actionable solutions and resources; and evaluating proposed solutions using reliable and valid assessments.
