“Lytics is made up of different kinds of scientists who are thinking through a whole new kind of empirical information jointly and co-equally,” Stevens said.
Last Friday afternoon, the Barnum Learning Hub was abuzz as researchers, educators and graduate students engaged in energetic discussion about the future of digital instruction and learning enhancement at the Lytics Lab Open House.
The open house, hosted by the Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning (VPTL) and the Graduate School of Education, was part of the Lytics Lab’s newly launched “Year of Learning,” a year-long initiative to examine how learning has occurred at Stanford in the past, how it takes place now and what it will look like in the future.
The Year of Learning was introduced to the Stanford community during the Great Teaching Showcase two weeks ago.
In collaboration with all seven of Stanford’s graduate schools, the program will feature Stanford Pre-Education Society (SPREES) panels, learning workshops and faculty lectures, as well as expositions, labs and research centered around a different theme each quarter.
According to the program website, the theme this fall is “advancing the art and science of teaching and learning in higher education” and will focus on how to better educate students in the 21st century, especially in the midst of a fast-paced transition to more digitalized learning.
