Dr Khor Ean Teng participates at the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) Doctoral Consortium

Dr Khor Ean Teng, Education Research Scientist from the Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice (CRPP), was invited to serve as one of the four mentors for the annual International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) Doctoral Consortium held in Buffalo, New York, United States, from 10 to 14 June 2024. The ISLS Doctoral Consortium, designed to support the growth of emerging talents working in the learning sciences or computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), provides an opportunity for advanced PhD students to share their dissertation research with their peers and a panel of faculty serving as mentors.

During the consortium, the PhD student participants received support from expert mentors to engage in further inquiry and discussion. They work on the various problems and identified issues, while referring to their dissertation project and the broader field of the Learning Sciences or CSCL. Dr Khor also acted as advisor for the regional group with Asian PhD student participants and was part of the writing feedback sessions to support the mentoring in various topics related to Learning Sciences, Science of Learning and Educational Technology. She enjoyed the mentoring session and received appreciation messages from the participants after the consortium.
