Weekly Meeting

CALST (Co-study Group on Advanced Learning Science and Technology) is an advanced academic community dedicated to fostering deep, ongoing discussion in the fields of learning science and educational technology.

Our weekly meetings serve as a core space for presenting research, exchanging ideas, and building shared understanding—functioning much like a second research seminar for our members.

Objective

To provide a consistent and intellectually rigorous forum for collaborative discussion, critical feedback, and shared growth among researchers who are actively engaged in the study of learning and technology.

Who Can Join

CALST welcomes the following participants, regardless of age:

Please note that CALST is not a casual or one-time discussion group. We do not accept participants who only intend to join a few times per year. This is a place for continuous participation and shared commitment, designed for those who seek to grow together as part of a collaborative academic environment.
