During the 2026 Celebrating Distance Teaching and Learning Symposium, we’ll celebrate educators who have forged high-quality practices for teaching at a distance. By showcasing innovative methods and technologies, we’ll explore how to remove barriers to learning and empower educators to reshape online educational experiences for their students.

During the symposium, we’ll converse with: 

• Our keynote speaker, Jonathan Powers, Ph.D., who will share how startup methodologies can be applied to teaching, learning, and course design;
• Inventive instructors who utilize educational and online technologies and have developed new techniques to wield their potential;
• Award-winning Online TAs and faculty from diverse backgrounds and disciplines; and
• Pedagogical specialists who work to bridge learning and technology together.

Please join us for a day full of inspiring presentations, important conversations, and innovative experiences as we work together to transform the landscape of distance teaching and learning.
