"We have seen that decision makers from several secretaries of education in Brazil who participated in local [Festivals of Invention and Creativity] came away determined to offer these opportunities in their school systems and subsequently incorporated the festival into the official calendars. Increased buy-in at the public policy level would be a tremendous takeaway from our J-WEL project." Ann Valente, educational research manager at the MIT Media Lab, shares the biggest takeaway she hopes comes from her grant project focused on creating resources to deepen and broaden the reach of creative learning experiences. Through its Education Innovation Grants, the Jameel World Education Lab aspires to develop the building blocks, ideas, and connections that power global transformation in learning. #Teaching #Learning #Innovation #CreativeLearning #LifelongKindergarten

📣 Calling all J-WEL members (and education innovators everywhere). MIT Open Learning is seeking proposals for rapid response papers or multimedia projects that explore the future of #OpenEducation in an AI-shaped ecosystem. Proposals could explore current or future efforts to build public #AI tools for open education, identify infrastructural prerequisites to building AI-based public goods, or describe implications of AI for open educational initiatives and resources. More information on how to submit at the link below 👇
The remarkable growth of AI poses new benefits and challenges for open education. To meet the moment, MIT Open Learning invites practitioners in open education and AI from around the world to submit proposals for rapid response papers or multimedia projects that explore the future of open education in an ecosystem inhabited and shaped by AI systems. The goal? To publicly share the projects under an open license to advance open education for the benefit of all learners. Learn more about the call for proposals: https://bit.ly/3y10z6P #OpenEducation #AIEducation #CallForPapers #Research #AcademicWriting #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Education #Teaching #Learning #EducationNews #EdTech

"This blog aims to shed light on my journey and inspire others to view refugees not as burdens, but as individuals with immense potential to contribute positively to society." Schaddy Kabila, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and currently residing in Malawi, shares his professional story of moving from volunteering, to becoming a social worker, to founding his own nonprofit. Schaddy's story is part of a blog series from the 2024 Migration Summit that explored the theme of "Unlocking and Engaging Talent: Pathways for Dignified Work."

"...teachers often lack feasible solutions that they can implement in their classrooms and end up missing out on opportunities to promote their students' curiosity and creativity. The Festivals of Invention and Creativity (FICs) are local celebrations where children, families, educators, and decision makers can experience firsthand the joy of learning by exploring meaningful activities with high and low tech materials." Ann Valente, educational research manager at the MIT Media Lab, shares the challenge that her grant project is trying to solve with FICs, an initiative that builds on the Media Lab’s Lifelong Kindergarten group’s Brazilian Creative Learning Network program. Through its Education Innovation Grants, the Jameel World Education Lab aspires to develop the building blocks, ideas, and connections that power global transformation in learning. #Teaching #Learning #Innovation #CreativeLearning #LifelongKindergarten

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Admir Masic, Faculty Founder of MIT ReACT, has been granted tenure by MIT for his work as Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Admir is one of 12 esteemed faculty members within the School of Engineering to receive this prestigious recognition. Admir’s research centers on bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern material technologies. Leveraging his expertise in in situ and operando spectroscopic techniques, he pioneers sustainable materials for applications in construction, energy, and environmental contexts. In 2017, Admir founded the MIT Refugee Action Hub (ReACT), driven by his personal experience and dedication to providing educational opportunities for displaced individuals. Reflecting on his mission, he asked himself: "How can I do my part to support those who have come after me? How can we make education a vessel for a better life for those in the wake of displacement, disruption, and loss?" Under his leadership, ReACT has empowered hundreds of displaced individuals with skills and knowledge needed to rebuild their careers. Admir's achievements inspire the entire Emerging Talent's community, and we are excited for the continued impact of his work at MIT and beyond. Congratulations, Admir! https://lnkd.in/ehS3q8b8 MIT Open Learning MIT Jameel World Education Lab Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Through its Education Innovation Grants, the MIT Jameel World Education Lab aspires to develop the building blocks, ideas, and connections that power global transformation in learning. As part of a series highlighting 2023 grantees, we spoke with Ann Berger Valente, educational research manager at the MIT Media Lab, working closely with her collaborator Leo Burd, director of the Lemann Creative Learning Program at the Media Lab. Valente’s project builds on the Media Lab Lifelong Kindergarten group’s Brazilian Creative Learning Network program by deepening and broadening the reach of creative learning experiences through Festivals of Invention and Creativity (FICs). FICs are local celebrations where children, families, educators, and decision makers can experience firsthand the joy of learning by exploring meaningful activities with high and low tech materials. Valente and Burd will develop a set of resources and guides to enable educators around the world to organize their own Festivals of Invention and Creativity. #Teaching #Learning #Creativity #LifelongKindergarten https://bit.ly/4bKIqYV

MIT Open Learning Research Scientist Andrés Felipe Salazar Gómez, working with Alexandre Armengol Urpi, a postdoctoral associate in the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE), studied ways to capture the implicit knowledge of MIT Glass Lab glassblowers for their J-WEL grant project. This video demonstrates how the team captured implicit knowledge of expert glassblowers using sensors and cameras to track eye movement.

“Our goal is to strengthen knowledge of the design, implementation, applicability, and impact of digital learning innovation at MIT and across the world. Instructors and leaders in J-WEL’s network are eager to learn about field-tested insights and to launch their own tests and experimentation...Such small-scale efforts could reveal new insights about challenges and opportunities in digital learning that could apply everywhere—including on the MIT campus.” Anjali Sastry, faculty director of the Jameel World Education Lab, explains the goal of the Frontiers in Digital Learning awards, a new grant program that shares insights from MIT Open Learning Digital Learning Lab (DLL) researchers with the world. #Teaching #Learning #Innovation
