Online Learning Summit
Summit themes
Scale and sustainability
What does scale mean to you and your institution? How can this be achieved and what is the cost of success?
Effective collaboration and partnerships
How can academic teams, professional services, and industry bodies work better together? What impact are different approaches to service design and learning science having on online programmes?
Lived experiences and impact of learning engineering and design
Are student voices being heard in the right places, at the right time? How has AI actually changed learning?
Global perspectives on the transformation of open, online and digital ecosystems
How can we integrate international trends and diverse debates from across Europe, USA, Latin America and beyond?
