2026 Conference Overview
Welcome to the 8th Annual 2026 Education Elevated (e2) Conference! The conference brings together KSU faculty and staff to share knowledge, skills, and teaching strategies that elevate students’ learning through leveraging technology in service of effective teaching.
Save the date!! Friday February 27th from 9am - 3pm.
This year’s theme is Human-Centered Education: Accessibility, AI, and Innovative Instruction
Join instructors, researchers, and technology leaders in elevating education that places human flourishing at its core. This conference explores (1) reimagining teaching through creativity, evidence-based practices and intentional design, (2) empowering instructors to responsibly use AI in ways that enhance – not replace – human connection and learning, and (3) centering access as a foundational element of human-centered education. Our hope is you will come away with new perspectives, connections with others and practical strategies.
We hope this year will be just as engaging as last year where we had over 23 different presentations across three virtual rooms. Most sessions were 25 minutes long, providing concise and impactful insights. There were also a few in-depth 50-minute sessions for a deeper dive, and a handful of quick 10-minute sessions for rapid learning. There was also a dedicated room throughout the day that had AI presentations.
