Leveraging Innovative Digital Practices to Ensure All Students Learn and Succeed
FRIDAY, APRIL 4, & SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2025 | HYBRID
AAC&U’s Forum on Digital Innovation is a two-day, hybrid event from April 4-5, 2025, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and online. Historically, we have adapted the forum to embrace current events, technological needs, digital innovations, and progress resulting in substantive changes in higher education. In keeping with this practice, we have further evolved this event to embrace the emergence of digital innovations around particular themes, thus adding the “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” track alongside the broader “Digital Innovation” track, and the more specific “ePortfolio Practice and Research” and “Open Learning” tracks. Moreover, previously, the Forum was an in-person component of AAC&U’s Annual Meeting, and then briefly a standalone event held fully online to accommodate travel restrictions, limitations, and restructuring. Now, as a key component of AAC&U’s new 2025 Conference on Learning and Student Success (CLASS), the Forum on Digital Innovation is back in person, as it was historically, as well as virtual to bring together a community of innovators around the landscape of digital innovations.
The theme for the 2025 Forum on Digital Innovation focuses on empowering and preparing practitioners, administrators, and institutions to embrace and effectively utilize digital innovations. Inherent in this theme is attention to building a productive community and conversation around embracing digital innovations to benefit student success across the curriculum and co-curriculum, in turn preparing learners for the workforce and beyond.
Empowering and preparing practitioners, administrators, and institutions to embrace and effectively utilize digital innovations.
This event will offer interactive, concurrent sessions and workshop opportunities for participants to share their research and practice. It will also highlight a range of faculty development approaches, leadership strategies, and student voices that are being leveraged successfully to prepare and facilitate campus use of established and emerging technologies, including those that serve as disruptors of current practice.
