Sharing What Works

In March, AALAS surveyed over 2,000 teachers, administrators, IT managers, professors, instructional designers, education technologists, deans, schools of education, and instructional coaches who were making a rapid transition to online learning. We were astounded by what we learned. This virtual summit is a worldwide initiative to begin to capture and cross-pollinate those ideas, best practices, innovations, and technologies as we prepare our schools for whatever is coming next.

AALAS is bringing together educators who embraced the Flipped Learning framework and those who didn’t.

We’ll review their transition plans and look for lessons learned
We’ll look for misconceptions debunked, errors made, and strategies to be avoided
We’ll get global perspectives on how educators are preparing for the next term, the second wave, and the new normal

International Panels and Town Halls

The big questions we’re all asking are basically the same. But the answers vary when viewed through the lens of k12 teachers, education technologists, centers for teaching and learning, university professors, instructional designers, etc. Find your cohort to join the global discussions that are relevant to you.
