The mission of the Enhance Program is to drive improvements in learning outcomes by accelerating the development and use of learning science, by harnessing the power of computational methods, talent, and data.
The Enhance program offers competitive fellowships that include stipend, benefits, travel, and research funds to Enhance Postdoctoral Fellow in fields relevant to learning analytics (computer science, cognitive science, cognitive psychology, educational psychology, learning sciences). We partner with universities and state education agencies to place fellows in a stimulating and exciting environment that will allow them to create new assessments using learning analytics tools.
Innovation in AI and cognitive systems as well as how to leverage data has skyrocketed in academic environments. However, these new methods and ideas do not result in translational work that transforms how students learn, how their learning is assessed, or how student data is used to create adaptable and individualized learning experiences.
We work with partners in state agencies and academic institutions to collaborate with talented Enhance Postdoctoral Fellows in developing fruitful collaborations that spark new assessments or new uses for existing assessment tools.
After a partnership is established between a State and Expert partners, a position will be advertised. Want to be the first to know?
