POD Conference 2021

Educational development (EdDev) and Educational technology (EdTech) are often organizationally and philosophically separated, yet supporting instructors through the crises of 2020 challenged EdDevs and EdTechs to combine forces. Building on months of reflective writing by educational developers from eighteen diverse institutions, we developed a framework exploring the various successful adaptations EdDevs and EdTechs used to work collaboratively. Participants will identify the adaptations that occurred in their own context, analyze a framework for leveraging successful adaptations to intentionally evolve future effective collaborations, and plan next steps for developing more intentional collaboration within their own contexts.

Note from the Conference Team: Engage With Small(er) Groups in Roundtable Sessions 

• Roundtable Discussions are intended to provide an opportunity for interactions in a smaller group setting. To accomplish the goal of more focused and personal conversations, we recommend presenters limit attendance for roundtable discussions to 30 participants. 
• If you are unable to join a roundtable because it has reached the maximum number of participants, we encourage you to check-out one or more of the on-demand sessions (available throughout the conference) or a Q&A session scheduled for the same time from Wednesday to Friday.
