Designing the Future of Online Learning: Human Element, Ethics, Innovation, and AI The 2026 Online Teaching Conference goes beyond the AI hype to focus on what truly matters: the human connection at the heart of learning. This year, we dive into the powerful potential of human-AI collaboration. We’ll move past simply using new tools to fundamentally rethink how we foster creativity, cultivate engagement, and build inclusive communities in digital spaces. OTC ’26 is a call to action for educators to lead the way—to design learning experiences where AI handles the repetitive, empowering us to focus on the relational. Together, we’ll build ethical frameworks that protect academic integrity and equity, ensuring that the soul of teaching not only endures but thrives in this new era. Join us to shape a future where AI enriches, not replaces, the transformative power of education.
