NCME 2026 Annual Meeting

Date: April 8-11, 2026

Location: Los Angeles, California

Theme: Moving Measurement Forward

Call for Proposals: Friday, September 12, 2025, at 11:59 PM PDT

The NCME Annual Meeting was a great success for AI. We encourage our members to collaborate towards organizing coordinated sessions over individual papers.

2026 Annual Meeting Program Chairs: Pamela Kaliski and Stefanie Wind

GenAI Evidence Hub for Assessment

Building on prior efforts of this working group, we have received a grant to expand the “evidence hub” to ~250 research papers in several applied areas of GenAI.

Project will:

  1. Develop Evidence Rubric – refine and publish a rubric grounded in contemporary measurement standards.

  2. Human Coding of ≥ 250 Studies – trained coders will apply the rubric, achieving Cohen’s kappa (κ) ≥ 0.80 on a 50-paper calibration set.

  3. Publish Results & Annotated Corpus – release practitioner guidance, a searchable database of coded studies, and a technical appendix on LLM-based auto-coding (target ≤ 0.05 κ divergence from human ratings).

We are currently reviewing the rubric, research design, and literature. If you’re interested in contributing research papers or reviewing research design, please contact John (john@ld-insights.com)

Additional SIG Updates & Calls for Participation

The International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning (IRRODL)

This special issue will explore the rapidly evolving role of AI, including generative AI (GenAI) and artificial intelligence in education (AIED), across a range of online and distributed learning environments. We welcome empirical, theoretical, and conceptual papers that investigate the design, implementation, outcomes, and critical implications of AI technologies in educational settings.

The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2025.
