GSLIS co-organizes Summit on Online Education

“Data-Driven Teaching & Learning: Lessons Learned from Research” is the theme for this year’s campus Summit on Online Education. Now in its fourth year, the Summit is designed to provide a forum for educators and learners, both on and off campus, to meet and discuss topics of interest. The event will take place on October 22 at the Illini Union and will be streamed live for remote participants.

The event, an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort between several units on campus, is targeted at all faculty, staff, and graduate students who are involved in the world of online, blended, and technology-enhanced learning. Featured speakers this year are Paul Litvak, a senior quantitative user experience researcher focusing on K-12 education at Google, and Jocelyn Ross, a data analyst at Stripe. Campus leaders, including Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida, will speak as well.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning and the Office of the Provost. It has been co-organized by the College of Education, the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, and GSLIS. Registration is free and open online through October 15.
