Intellum is proud to stand with other practitioners and researchers at the intersection of computer science, the learning sciences, and human-computer interaction. 

Our learning science practice works closely with Intellum clients, non-client initiatives, and academic institutions to better understand the cognitive and social processes that result in the most effective learning. 

We use this knowledge to constantly improve our own products and processes, while positively impacting broader instructional practices, so we can help people learn more deeply.

Learning Science Weekly

Learning science is a multidisciplinary field that draws from decades of research and practice in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, education, computer science, and linguistics. But this rigorous field of study has remained largely inaccessible to education, L&D, and field enablement professionals. Until now. 

Every week the Learning Science Weekly newsletter, sponsored by Intellum, translates cutting-edge research into actionable insights and research-backed, evidence-based best practices that will help you deliver more effective educational experiences.
