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.
