Whether you’re improving the basics, trying out new ways of teaching and learning, or bringing fresh ideas from unexpected places. This is your chance to extend the conversation, spark new connections, and help shape the future of digital learning. Whether you’re returning to the ideas that inspired you at ALTC25 or joining the conversation for the first time, your perspective matters.
