OLC Innovate 2021 - OLC Research Summit

OLC Research Summit: Setting the Stage for your Research Journey!

Research is critical to the work we do each and every day as we support and create quality digital, blended, and online learning experiences. We often use research to guide us as we design and facilitate these learning experiences, but what do you do when you have a question that isn’t answered in the research or that isn’t answered in a way that creates answers for your organization? If you’ve ever wanted to set out on a research journey to get answers to burning questions you have, this summit is for you!

To set the stage for your research journey, the OLC Innovate Research Summit will begin with an overview of the current landscape of digital, blended, and online learning where the audience will be able to engage with current trends. In the second session, participants will learn about strategies they can utilize to conduct research to find answers to their burning questions. Finally, participants will have an opportunity to start building their future research project right at the conference!

The OLC Innovate Research Summit will consist of three, 45-minute sessions that will feature presentations to guide participants, as well as time for reflection and networking. During these sessions, participants will:

Examine current trends in digital, blended, and online learning;
Identify strategies that can support getting answers to the questions they are interested in exploring; and
Create an exploration plan that starts right at the conference!

Registration for the OLC Research Summit is included in your OLC Innovate 2021 conference registration. Register for virtual access.
