The Digital Learning Lab offers custom professional learning experiences for school districts, educational organizations, and institutions of higher education seeking practical, research-based guidance on AI for teaching and learning.
Our work is grounded in decades of research on learning, equity, and educational technology, and is designed to help educators move beyond hype toward responsible, effective, and context-sensitive uses of AI.

We offer flexible formats to meet your institution's needs:
Invited Talks & Keynotes
Engaging presentations for conferences and large-group professional development.

Our Approach
Our professional learning emphasizes:
Research-Based Practices
Grounded in evidence, not tools alone—we focus on pedagogy and learning science.
Practical Strategies
Actionable approaches educators can use immediately in their classrooms and institutions.
Thoughtful Risk Engagement
Honest discussion of risks, limitations, and ethical considerations of AI in education.
Contextual Alignment
Alignment with your institutional values, policies, and constraints—no one-size-fits-all solutions.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we work collaboratively with partners to ensure relevance, rigor, and impact.
