Jeremy Roschelle

Jeremy Roschelle, Ph.D., serves as co-executive director of Digital Promise’s Center for Learning Sciences Research (CLSR) where he leads research on the future of learning with technology. He co-leads the NSF Engage AI Institute and leads the U-GAIN Reading R&D Center, both of which investigate advanced uses of AI in education. Dr. Roschelle is a Fellow of the International Society of the Learning Sciences, and is internationally known for his work on artificial intelligence, computer-supported collaborative learning, learning mathematics with technology, and on scaling up research-based technologies. Over his 30+ year career, he has authored about 200 publications. His publications have about 28,000 citations and he holds 10 patents.

At Digital Promise, Dr. Roschelle oversees a dedicated group of researchers and learning scientists working to improve teaching and learning across preschool, PreK-12, and postsecondary programs. His focus is particularly on improving the infrastructure for generating research evidence and creating an infrastructure for learning-sciences-based applications of AI. Programs including SEERNet, AIMS EduData, and SafeInsights are creating state-of-the-art approaches to generating evidence on digital learning platforms. The K-12 AI Infrastructure Program is funding public goods, cultivating datasets, benchmarks and models that are grounded in the learning sciences.

Prior to joining Digital Promise, Dr. Roschelle led some of the most important research studies on the efficacy of technologies for learning mathematics. He is also well-known for his contributions to collaborative learning and his leadership of several national research hubs related to educational technology. Over the course of his career, he has secured and managed tens of millions of dollars in highly competitive external funding from federal agencies and global foundations. His research has contributed to policy, products, and into practical applications in schools. He also communicates about learning sciences research and AI directly to the public through his podcast, Future Fluent, and through his large following on LinkedIn.

Dr. Roschelle earned an bachelor’s degree in Computer Science  from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in learning sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. He enjoys jazz, backpacking and photography.
