EODLW – Join and Network!

EDEN is proudly hosting the European Online and Distance Learning Week (EODLW) for the fifth year. This year we are in partnership again with the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) and the Open Distance Learning Association in Australia (ODLAA) jointly with Flexible Learning Association of New Zealand (FLANZ) who are launching the Australasian Online and Distance Learning Week. We are happy to have special contributions to EDEN EODLW from ICDE.

Thie upcoming week will be a good time to reflect on present changes influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and to enhance the possibilities of online and distance learning in today’s “new normal”. During the EODLW, you will have access to daily online webinars and panel sessions of expert scholars and practitioners who will present a variety of cutting edge open and online learning topics, from innovations in design to open educational research.
