Applications for participation have been reviewed, and panelists confirmed to lead discussion on the following major themes:
- Learning at Scale
- Academic Analytics
- Tools & Services
- Instructional Design
The Southeast Educational Data Symposium has drawn interest from over 20 schools and educational technology firms from Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, and as far away as Michigan. The number of in-person attendees has been limited in order to most facilitate active engagement by participants. All of the day’s events will be professionally recorded and produced as an archive and to allow for asynchronous participation afterwards.
The Southeast Educational Data Symposium is made possible through the generous contributions of Emory Libraries and Information Technology Services, Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, and the Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods.
