Elisabeth Sylvan, Ph.D.

An educational leader whose work is grounded in the fields of HCI and the learning sciences, I currently serve as a Senior Fellow at ITS Rio, Visiting Lecturer in the School of Engineering at Brown University, and Lecturer in the School of Politics and Public Policy at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). In my consulting practice, I work with clients to design and evaluate their educational and other technologies and associated programs.

Three recent activities

Teaching "Critical Thinking in the Time of Generative AI" course at Technical University of Munich

I'm prepping this class that I'll be teaching later this month in TUM's School of Politics and Public Policy.

Governing Educational Knowledge Commons workshop and book

Colleagues met at Rutgers to plan a co-edited volume in the GKC series.

"Educational Chatbots: something new or history repeating?"

In September I gave a talk on this topic for "Research in the Era of Generative AI: A Hybrid Symposium for Design Justice Thinkers" at Rutgers University.
