Jason Levin is Executive Director of WGU Labs, the nonprofit research and development arm of Western Governors University. He leads a team of researchers, designers, and engineers who examine, build, and invest in education technology, with a focus on proving what works before it scales.

Under Levin's leadership, Labs' current work centers on AI in learning, including AI-enabled course development and AI-native assessment that lets working adults earn credit for skills they already have.

Levin founded WGU's Center for Applied Learning Science in 2018, which became WGU Labs. The Center earned a National Science Foundation grant with Carnegie Mellon University and won the J-PAL Education, Technology, and Opportunity Innovation Competition.

Before that, he spent seven years as WGU's Vice President of Institutional Research, where he built the Student Success Research Pipeline, and led the Office of Institutional Effectiveness at Kaplan University. He brings more than 20 years of experience in data analytics and education research.
