600+ Hours of Free Conference Recordings on Online Learning
You can watch many online education conferences online. We’ve compiled them for you all here.
During the pandemic, many education conferences that traditionally took place in person were moved to an online format. This shift not only reduced participation fees but also expanded access through online recordings. Moreover, the pandemic sparked considerable interest in online education, enhancing the relevance of these conferences like never before.
Fortunately, some of these conferences have opted to maintain an open format or, at the very least, continue supplementing their in-person experiences with video recordings accessible online. In response, Class Central scoured the web for these recordings and compiled hundreds of hours of video content on conferences about online education.
(If you’d rather attend these events live, in person or online, we’ve also put together a list of all the online education conference taking place this year.)
These recordings span a wide array of topics, including affordable online degrees, the future of higher education, flipped classrooms and blended learning, online learning communities, open educational resources (OER), instructional design, and much more.
Below, you will find the latest recordings available from a range of online conferences on online learning, alongside recordings from previous editions. We hope you discover materials that pique your interest. Please let us know in the comments if we have overlooked a relevant conference.
