Designing Education Across Borders and Barriers: Toward a Transnational, Inclusive, and Interoperable Future
In an increasingly interconnected world, education must cross borders and embrace diversity. Rich Powers makes the case for a new design approach – one that brings together transnational collaboration, interoperability, and Universal Design for Learning to build resilient, human-centred classrooms across contexts.
Join his Boardroom Dialogue and Pre-Conference Workshop at OEB25 to explore these ideas further.
Relevant Content Doesn't Float, it Sinks: Scoping E-Learning Experiences
Why do so many e-learning projects fall short?
Jaime Cará Junior argues it’s not a question of tools or engagement, but of poor scoping. He outlines how clear boundaries and well-defined metrics keep content relevant, prevent overload, and make learning meaningful and actionable.
Join Jaime’s Pre-Conference Workshop on December 3rd.
Whose Future Is It Anyway? Charting the Global Trajectory of Online Learning
It may not dominate headlines like AI, but online learning is steadily transforming higher education around the world. Glenda Morgan examines the forces behind its rise – from global access to growing market concentration – and asks what kind of future we are choosing to shape.
Join Morgan’s presentation at OEB25 and explore what’s at stake.
