This year’s annual event theme is called Embracing the next chapter: Strategies and technologies shaping the future of online and distance learning. The theme for our event provides a platform for discussing new strategies and technologies shaping the future of online and distance learning. While online and distance learning have a rich past that is responsive and resilient to disruptions, we will focus on the strategies and technologies that are shaping its next evolution. From enabling alternative forms of schooling to the integration of AI, we will explore how educators, institutions, and learners can leverage these advancements to enhance accessibility, engagement, and overall learning outcomes.
