This summit, in partnership with MERLOT and Tennessee State University, has been designed for educators at HBCUs to engage in key strategies and outcomes that create access to online education in support of student success. Focusing on the quality characteristics of online learning as well as digital strategies prioritized by HBCUs in their work in online education, this multipart summit uses actionable design practices and collaborative work to create a community of practice supporting work well beyond the conference. Join us for two distinct events as part of the HBCU Summit, as well as special networking opportunities for educators from HBCUs across the nation. Learn more on the HBCU Summit Website.
