Today’s learners have very different expectations for what their education experience should be. From how they use technology and how they navigate their learning journey and the institutions that support it to how they build skills and showcase them to connect their academic experience to jobs and work/life experience.

Institutions of all types are being forced to reevaluate what it means to be relevant to their most important constituent. We’re investing in technologies that give students more choices in their learning experience so that institutions are empowered to help their learners succeed on their educational journey.

We realize that you are dealing with complex challenges that require more than just a set of products. You need ways to confront big and small problems you face every day. In working with over 19,000 institutions around the globe we have learned what is required to be a comprehensive partner to you and the learning and teaching industry – not just a product vendor.

Are you joining Online Educa Berlin this year? We would love to meet you, explain how we help institutions drive innovation, and discuss how we can help you. Use the form on the right to set up a meeting or visit our stand at the conference.

Student-led Learning
Pre-conference workshop | Wednesday, 10:00 - 13:00 | M7

Students engage better with learning opportunities when they are actively involved and feel a sense of ownership of their learning. In this session, explore tools and tips for supporting student led learning. Participants will discuss possible course designs and have an opportunity to try out designs in a Blackboard Learn course.

This workshop is for Instructors and eLearning advisors looking to gain practical experience to help them design more engaging courses. This forum based workshop aims to facilitate sharing of best practices so that participants get to learn from each other experiences.
