OLC Innovate, a joint conference presented by OLC and MERLOT, provides a path for innovators of all experience levels and backgrounds to share best practices, test new ideas, and collaborate on driving forward online, digital, and blended learning.

We will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Innovate conference April 1-3, 2025. Our theme for Innovate 2025 is “The Rhythm of Innovation: Hitting the High Notes in Digital Education.”

Join us as we challenge our teaching and learning paradigms, reimagine the learning experience, and ideate on how disruptions in education today will shape the innovative classroom of tomorrow.
