Hosted by SHSU Online, the Digital Education Summit (DES) is dedicated to advancing excellence in online teaching and learning. Held each summer, DES brings together educators, staff, administrators, and digital education professionals for two full days of insight, innovation, and collaboration.
Whether you’re looking to enhance student engagement, explore new technologies, or stay current with best practices, this free event provides a valuable space for learning and connection. Originating as an in-person conference in 2011, the virtual summit continues to support the growth and success of online education by offering engaging keynotes and breakout sessions that highlight emerging trends, practical tools, and proven strategies for online education.
You’re invited to join us annually to Connect, Learn, and Innovate!
