Deadline Nears for the Digital Learning Annual Conference Call for Proposals
Industry: Education
DLAC 2021 Presentation Proposals must be submitted by December 19
Austin, TX (PRUnderground) December 14th, 2020
The Digital Learning Annual Conference (DLAC) Call for Proposals is open until December 19, 2020. For the first time, digital learning educators can present and share their expertise onsite or virtually.
DLAC’s unique conference format focuses on short, interactive sessions from the full range of educators, researchers, and others. Session types include panel discussions and debates, table talks, PechaKuchas, poster sessions, contributed talks, and workshops.
DLAC 2021 has more opportunities than ever before as a hybrid conference. Onsite DLAC participation will remain on the planned dates and location at the Hyatt Regency Austin on June 14-16, 2021. The newly added online DLAC component, with presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities, will allow presenters to choose which format they prefer: online, in-person, or either.
DLAC is powered by the Digital Learning Collaborative (DLC), a membership organization dedicated to exploring, producing, and disseminating data, information, news, and best practices in digital learning. In addition to DLAC, the DLC creates reports, blogs, and professional development for digital learning stakeholders. Our current members include school districts, intermediate units, public agencies, non-profit organizations, and companies. DLC members determine the topics that to be explored, via monthly web meetings, individual discussions and networking. Find out more at https://www.digitallearningcollab.com.
About The Digital Learning Annual Conference (DLAC)
Digital tools and resources aren’t silver bullets that magically transform education, but online learning, blended learning, and the use of technology can increase student opportunities and improve student outcomes, when developed by thoughtful school leaders and implemented by effective teachers. DLAC celebrates K-12 digital learning practitioners, researchers, and policymakers; learn from each other; and share best practices in this new and innovative conference. This is not a ”sit and get” conference. You will have opportunities to share your experiences, learn from collaborators, catch up with colleagues, and meet new friends in both facilitated sessions and informal settings. The DLAC 2019 highlight video on our website will give you a flavor of the conference format. So much of the value of a conference comes from the ”hallway conversations” outside the sessions. DLAC maximizes those opportunities while maintaining the benefits of more traditional conference programming. DLAC brings together practitioners working on real change and is designed for a wide range of attendees, including educators (superintendents, school/district leaders, teachers), companies and non-profit organizations, online and blended learning consortia, researchers, and state education agency personnel.
