About Digital Learning Days
Blackboard Digital Learning Days is a series of roadshows that aims to provide educators, learning designers, and system administrators insight into trends in education technology that address today's challenges in higher education. Combining expertise from the Blackboard solutions team and users from our client institutions themselves, these roadshows will also explore best practices addressing student engagement, technology adoption and inclusive learning. Programs and agenda are unique to each city, and we will look at various facets of teaching & learning that also contribute to institutional development. Roadshows are designed for academics, faculty members, course designers, system admins and e-learning managers.
