TxDLA 2016: "Pushing Distance Education to Unimaginable Limits"
Every hero has a defining moment. In the field of distance education, we interact with heroes every day. We aspire to do noble acts of heroism in distance education to meet the needs of the modern lifelong learner. Increasing demand to support the need falls to experienced professionals performing feats of bravery, problem-solving and even superheroism. Playing off this theme, the 19th Annual Texas Distance Learning Association Conference (TxDLA 2016) will present a variety of topics and activities that support these courageous superheroes, pushing distance education to unimaginable limits. Sessions focus on trends in educational technology, innovative and best practice, research, accessibility, cybersecurity and data analysis, faculty and student support, administration and policy and more. Come discover the heroes beyond traditional learning. It’s an unforgettable experience you can’t afford to miss!
