What the speakers & attendees are saying about inspirED...

Wonderful conference from the great team at Feedback Fruits! Appreciated the variety of presentations and the opportunities to chat with fellow educators and the Feedback Fruits team themselves. Looking forward to the next one!”

Marisa Lavoratore
Speaker, Queen’s University

inspriED '21 brought futurists, instructional designers and others passionate about interactive online and blended learning course design from all over the globe. Dynamic and lively, the short-format presentations attended by all is a winning format. Normally, one has to choose between a lot of sessions--I loved that the sessions were "attend all," focused, and then time to network. Already looking forward to next year!”

It enables educators to share their experiences and best practices related to a range of topics including: learner-centeredness in education; the continued evolution of online and distance learning; transitioning from emergency remote teaching to online learning; peer learning; feedback facilitation; digital pedagogy; AI adoption in education; authentic assessments and non-traditional assessment solutions.
