Integrating Learning Sciences Research for Product Success
With Tutaleni I. Asino, PhD
Co-Director of Learning Sciences for Innovators at Carnegie Mellon University
Are you building educational technology that truly supports how people learn? How do you know?
Join us for an insightful webinar with Tutaleni I. Asino, a renowned learning science expert, as we dive into the pivotal role learning sciences research plays in the development of successful educational technology products. In this session, we will explore how research methods can be harnessed to create effective, engaging, and impactful educational tools. Whether you’re an EdTech entrepreneur, product designer, researcher, or educator, this webinar offers a timely reminder of what learning sciences are — and why they matter for product development, impact, and scale.
We’ll review key principles from the learning sciences and discuss what research-informed design really looks like in the EdTech space. You’ll walk away with critical insights on:
- How people actually learn — and what this means for your product
- What is research and why should you care as an entrepreneur
- How you can collaborate with CMU on research on your product
- Why evidence-based design should be a priority (not a nice-to-have)
- What research entrepreneurs should engage in when building or scaling a product
- How to bridge the gap between research and innovation
