Welcome to the Digital Learning Lab!
Explore our new AI in Education certificate programs, designed to equip educators with the knowledge and tools to effectively integrate AI into learning environments.
About Our Lab
The Digital Learning Lab (DLL) was founded by Mark Warschauer to use cutting-edge approaches for better understanding students' learning processes, from pre-school to graduate school, as well as to design and develop new tools and resources to improve digital learning opportunities. The development and diffusion of digital media are transforming the terrain of learning in both higher education and K-12 schools. The use of digital media in education is also dramatically expanding the amount and types of data available to analyze teaching and learning processes.
Research Projects
Computing & AI for All
Computing and AI for All is an educational initiative focused on teaching computational thinking, coding, and artificial intelligence to K‑8 students through culturally relevant, engaging curricula.
Converse to Learn
Converse to Learn is an educational research project that explores how conversational agents (CAs)—like Siri or Alexa can support young children’s learning by encouraging everyday social interaction and dialogue during educational activities.
Generative AI in Education
Generative AI in Education (GENAIEd) is a research initiative that investigates how AI can be integrated responsibly and effectively across educational settings—from K–12 classrooms to higher education—to support student learning and instructional practices.
