Learning Engineering Perspectives for Educational Systems (Craig et al., 2023)
Article on how learning engineering can shape educational systems at scale through changes to policy, infrastructure, and practice.
Online Education: A Catalyst for Higher Education Reforms
MIT policy report arguing that online education should catalyze structural reform in higher ed — an early institutional signal that learning needs engineering-style discipline, not just more technology.

Generalizable Learning Engineering Adoption Maturity Model
I/ITSEC 2024 Paper No. 24154 introduces a generalizable learning engineering adoption maturity model for organizations and enterprises.

Caliper Analytics
Caliper is xAPI's closest sibling — a learning-analytics interop standard from 1EdTech. If you're picking an LMS analytics stack, you'll encounter both.
xAPI — Experience API specification
The de facto standard for learning-event instrumentation. Every LE platform conversation eventually comes back to xAPI. Runs through the IEEE LTSC, where much of ICICLE's standards work also happens.

Advancing Workforce Learning through Learning Engineering
On October 23rd, 2025, the ICICLE Workforce Market Interest Group (MIG) led a webinar on Advancing Workforce Learning through Learning Engineering. The MIG co-chairs, DJ Jaeger and John Costa, explored how learning engineering supports workforce transformation through data-informed design, system-level thinking, and evidence-based practices that link learning to performance outcomes.
Applying Learning Engineering in a Global Context
An Invitation of Learning Engineering held on February 25, 2026, explored how learning engineering is adapted globally in a local context. Hosted by the Globalisation Special Interest Group, Carolina Ali Fojaco, Chief Learning Officer at Project Alianza, provided a deep dive on how they used learning engineering to iterate and scale AnGo, an offline, AI-assisted literacy app to help children in Central America build foundational reading skills.
Crazy Idea: What If We Use Engineering to Develop and Deliver Engineering Education?
Goodell in conversation with Azad (IFEES) on the provocative inverse of our normal framing: if LE is how we rigorously teach people to engineer, why don't we use LE to teach engineering itself? A 2025 entry worth watching for the international-engineering-education perspective.
QIP Learning Engineering Video Series
Curated video series featuring LE practitioners and researchers discussing field foundations, implementation cases, and lessons learned.
Introduction to Learning Engineering Webinar Series
ICICLE-hosted webinar series for newcomers, introducing core concepts, workflows, and entry points into the LE community.
AECT Learning Engagement Activated: Jim Goodell on Learning Engineering
Podcast episode covering LE principles, ICICLE community work, and implications for evidence-based professional learning design.

Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL)
DoD-funded learning-technology R&D center. Birthplace of SCORM and xAPI. Substantial overlap with the ICICLE Government/Military MIG; they co-sponsor iFEST each year.
IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (LTSC)
IEEE standards body responsible for learning-technology interoperability standards. The institutional home of xAPI-adjacent work and a natural partner to ICICLE's working groups.
