LASER Institute Aims to “BEAM” Learning Analytics to New Institutions

The LASER Institute held its weeklong summer workshop at the Friday Institute July 22-26. The new phase of the LASER Institute, called LASER BEAM (Broadening Education in Advanced Methods), seeks to expand the impact of its previous National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project. In addition to supporting scholars in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to incorporate new methods into their education research, LASER BEAM aims to broaden the program’s impact by supporting scholars in developing an instructional plan to incorporate LASER curriculum modules into graduate-level programs, courses or workshops at their home university or research institution.
