Shaping the Future of Education Together
The Open edX Conference is where the Open edX community and leading experts in ed tech discuss the latest research, new approaches to learning, and best practices for integrating new technology into the (virtual) classroom.
This year's event is focused on the growing importance of collaborative learning and how educators, students, and technologists are coming together to build the next generation of educational technology. We will discuss innovative uses across higher education, lifelong learning, instructional design, course production techniques, and methods for operating, extending and enhancing the Open edX platform.
We welcome you to submit a session proposal for the 2022 Open edX Conference. We are particularly interested in proposals in the following areas:
1. Pedagogy and Instructional Design
Course authoring, production and promotion techniques
Innovative courses, in particular in higher education, social impact, and professional development & training
What works best in online learning?
2. Platform and Product
Towards collaborative learning: blurring the lines between educators, learners and technologists
Trends in online learning and training, for instance: online credentials, professional development, lifelong learning
Where are we now and where do we need to go?
3. Integrations and Extensions
Analytics & research
Technical deep dives
Extending and integrating the platform
4. Devops and Operations
Latest best practices for running a site
Challenges and solutions for successful online education
Of course we will consider proposals outside of these areas as well, but these are the topics we are projecting for the conference.
We are accepting proposals for 45-minute breakout sessions, 10-minute lightning talks, and 90-minute or 3-hour tutorials/workshops (held on Tuesday April 26th, 2022). If you have any questions, or would like to discuss other possibilities, please send us an email at oscm.tcril.org.
