The OLC Accelerate conference provides a multitude of opportunities to network. There are many social events, as well as sessions that are truly created to further us as online learning professionals. The organization of the conference is extremely easy to follow and I love that the keynotes truly tailored their presentations to online learning.

I love OLC conferences because you have the opportunity to learn from others, feel each other’s pain and struggles with advice on how to get through in this innovative time, talk to vendors, and then talk to others as to why or why not they choose to work with those vendors. I love the research aspect, the practicality, and the networking OLC has to offer. It is the only conference I ever insist on attending because it keeps me up to date in this fast changing world and keeps me grounded in research even at the administrative level.

It is always a great experience to network and see what others are doing in the field. The conference gave me the opportunity to learn, reflect and critical think on topics of interest. I meet people who were willing to share their practical knowledge and their successes with others.

I’ve always felt at home as a faculty member at OLC Accelerate, and this is the best pedagogical training I get. I’m an award-winning teacher, and that’s due in no small part to the tools, techniques, and strategy I’ve learned at OLC Accelerate.
