CPS Faculty Member Selected to Join National AI in Education Fellowship Event
Chris Unger, co-founder and co-director of the LEARN Lab at Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies along with Allison Ruda, is taking part in the Center on Reinventing Public Education’s (CRPE) inaugural Think Forward Fellowship cohort. One of only 40 visionary leaders selected from across the country to address the most pressing challenges around AI in K-12 public education, Unger joins policymakers, system leaders, educators, researchers, funders, and tech experts to collaborate on shaping the future of AI adoption in U.S. schools.
As a leading voice on AI’s potential to transform education, Unger comes to the fellowship fresh from EdTech Week in New York City and the FullScale Symposium in New Orleans, where he presented on using voice-based AI chatbots to assess durable skills.
The fellows will convene in November at the Think Forward: AI Learning Forum for four days of intensive discussion focused on vision and learning design, infrastructure for AI adoption, and communication strategies for sustainable transformation.
Unger is a teaching professor in the Graduate School of Education and co-leads the LEARN Lab alongside Dr. Allison Ruda, associate dean of use-inspired research. The lab acts as an innovation and research hub for educators and AI platform designers looking to dig-in to the potential of AI to accelerate and enhance learning.
