  • Registration: $400 USD
  • Welcomes 500 Attendees from around the globe
  • Tracks: https://digitalpedagogylab.com/tag/dpl2021-tracks/
  • Digital Pedagogy Lab is an international professional development gathering for educators committed to issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, critical digital pedagogy, and imagining a new future for education. The Lab is a space for teachers, students, librarians, administrators, and technologists interested in inquiry, praxis, and social justice.Digital Pedagogy Lab may look from all appearances to be a traditional professional development event replete with speakers and sessions. But in fact, the Lab is a classroom. Participants sign up for one track, focused on a topic specific to their research interests, teaching area, or imaginative impulses. Once in a track, attendees form a cohort and learn, collaborate, and teach each other for the entire duration of the Lab. We believe that when you create a space where people feel free to join, free to experiment, free to voice themselves, free to try, free to fail, free to succeed, free to change—and reinforce that space with a foundation of generosity, kindness, care, hospitality—you also create a space where the new, the inventive, the generative and creative—in other words, the necessary—can emerge.
  • Participants at the Lab sign up for one track, specific to their research interests, teaching area, or imaginative impulses. registers for a single track (e.g., Intro, Inclusive Design, Open Pedagogy, etc.). In this track, they join a small cohort of other educators for the full week, working and collaborating together on projects and discussions throughout. The cohort model for tracks allows each participant to dig in deep on a single subject, exploring various areas of that track as fully as possible in a week’s time. This intimate model—even online—also provides a greater opportunity to connect with other educators who share interests, even as everyone is coming from different perspectives.

RECORDING – The Impact of the Pandemic on Canadian Higher Education: The Implications of a Shift Toward Digital Learning | April 15 | 
  • Theme: After an unprecedented year of emergency remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian post-secondary institutions are looking ahead to the future and considering the possibilities for digital learning going forward. While a return to in-person learning is the anticipated scenario for Fall 2021, research conducted during the pandemic indicates that digital technologies and options for learning online are likely to be far more prevalent even when a full return to in-person learning becomes possible.
