Arming Students in the Fight Against Flawed Sources and Fake News
In today’s world, we are all bombarded with information. With the rise of fake news and websites, widespread subtle and explicit bias, and shortcuts to rigorous vetting, the digital natives in our classrooms have ready access to outright false or dangerously misleading content, but they don’t always have the digital literacy skills and tools to evaluate it critically.

What You Will Learn
This panel, featuring a cross-section of perspectives spanning secondary and higher education, as well as renowned journalists, is ready to support educators in understanding:
The current landscape of information
The challenges facing students as they attempt to evaluate sources
How these challenges impact students’ academic endeavors, as well as their civic lives
Practical tips, tools, and resources that can be used to empower students to overcome these challenges, particularly in light of the shift to online and/or hybrid learning environments.
Reimagining Learning Technologies & Edtech Development
In education, many claims have been made about the ways technology will disrupt conventional approaches to teaching and learning, increase efficiencies, and empower learners at scale. Yet, these highly publicized promises have often failed to meet the needs of all learners and do little to address the growing inequities in education.
Join us Thursday, September 17 as we explore these concerns with Dr. Justin Reich, the Mitsui Career Development Professor of Comparative Media Studies and Director of the Teaching Systems Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and author of the book Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education.
Thursday Sep 17 20:00 CET
What You Will Learn
We will discuss the crucial role technology plays in the future of education, the reform efforts needed to support meaningful institutional changes, and take questions from our live audience. Reserve your seat today!
Product Demo: How to Support At-Risk Students with Brightspace
When your students succeed, so do you. But not all learners grasp course concepts at the same pace, and some may even become at risk of falling behind the class. Before you can support these students, identifying them is a crucial first step.
Join us for this brief demonstration of the predictive analytics and visual diagnostics in D2L’s Brightspace platform. We’ll highlight how these tools can help identify at-risk students and help them improve.
Tuesday Sep 22 20:00 CET

Reimagining Self-Regulated Learning: Helping Students Develop Metacognitive Awareness in Online and Hybrid Learning Environments
Metacognition is broadly defined as awareness and control of one’s learning and is increasingly recognized as an important component of the learning process. For many institutions looking to create and support active learning environments with the aid of technology, the question becomes, in what ways can learning technologies like the learning management system (LMS) be leveraged to promote self-regulation and metacognitive skill development in students? What effect do these interventions have on student learning behaviors and academic outcomes? And how can positive interventions like these be positioned across an institution? To explore this topic in deeper detail, please join us on Thursday, October 29 as we explore these questions and more with Drs. Crystal Fulton, James Matthews, and Emma O’Neill from the University College Dublin in Dublin, Ireland.
Don’t miss out! Register for your seat today.
Tuesday Oct 29 20:00 CET
