CompEdu: Computational Education Lab


We are a research lab in the computer science department @ Stanford University working to improve the human learning experience.

About

This lab is a group of professors in the Computer Science department with a common interest in advancing education using computer science techniques. We are part of a greater mission at Stanford university, and beyond, to make high quality, inclusive education more accessible to all. We work on a broad set of projects including: AI to understand human learners, new ways to get humans to learn from and teach each other, and better designs for learning experiences.
