October 2023 • Sae spent a day with the students, faculty, and staff of Rollins College this discussing AI, data, and learning engineering. The opening session was for freshmen, and it covered US federal laws and policies around AI as well as security-related efforts, including how bad actors are using AI for disinformation. In the next session, we reviewed AI and education with the faculty, and finally talked about enterprise data with the IT staff. (Image CC-BY Ebyabe)

September 2023 • The Language Institute at the Austrian National Defense Academy held a two-day professional development workshop, led by the Knowledge Forge LLC. The agenda included direct instruction on Modernizing Learning, Learning Engineering, and AI + Learning, as well as problem-based sessions where the faculty and staff identified ways to apply these lessons to their own language training and education tasks.

August 2023 • Sae provided the opening keynote at the Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) Emerging Security Challenges symposium in Sofia, Bulgaria. The theme was Cognitive Warfare, a kind of hybrid warfare focused on attacking or degrading rationality by various means, such as information operations, social and cognitive psychology techniques, and applied neuroscience, as well as certain cyber and electromagnetic warfare components.

July 2023 • Sae co-hosted a webinar on Learning Engineering with Jim Goodell from Quality Information Partners. It was sponsored by the National Training and Simulation Association and the Central Florida Tech Grove, and its content is based on Sae and Jim’s award-winning tutorial from the I/ITSEC 2022 conference.

June 2023 • We recently co-hosted an underground Learning Science Seminar in Central London, with Julian Stodd from Sea Salt Learning and Geoff Stead from MyTutor. The seminar featured interactive techniques and a large-scale concept map. It was a successful pilot test for our in-the-works professional development offering, which coincides with our Learning Science Handbook currently in development.

May 2023 • Sae delivered the keynote at the 52nd NATO Conference of Commandants, jointly hosted by the NATO Defense College and the Baltic Defence College and held in Tallinn, Estonia. The two-day annual conference brought together commandants of national senior defense education institutions from allied and partner nations. This year’s was online learning. Sae talked about Modernizing Learning and sat on several panels.

April 2023 • Sae delivered one of the invited keynote presentations at the eLearning and Software for Education (eLSE) conference, held in conjunction with a Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) meeting in Bucharest. She spoke about AI and Learning, starting with Good Old Fashion AI and followed by a deeper look at Machine Learning and Generative AI through an education and training lens.

Here’s a short article about the conference from the Romanian National Defense University. 

February 2023 • The Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) working group met in Skopje, North Macedonia to identify ways to support Ukrainian defense education and training. Sae helped to facilitate the working group and was among the contributors to the resulting information paper—which was ultimately endorsed by the First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine among other notable international leaders.
