Navigating change: leading learning in the AI era

This December, Connect More brings together educators, learning technologists, and digital practitioners to share insights and practical approaches to navigating change, improving learner outcomes, and shaping a more inclusive, sustainable digital future.

Through practitioner-led case studies, interactive discussions, and workshops, we'll explore three themes: human-centred education in an AI era, building digitally confident educators, and designing inclusive digital experiences.
