This NSF-supported workshop was held March 18-19, 2019, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, bringing together learning and data scientists with various backgrounds and prior expertise to collaboratively solve the research challenges of development of instruction, assessment of competence of current and would-be workers, and evaluation of learning tools. Three specific questions were addressed: how to define competence, measure competence and evaluate new approaches to learning. Speakers represented industry and academia to ensure a broad perspective and specifically to take into account employer’s perspectives.
