The Call for Proposals for DPI2026 is now open. At this year’s DPI, our goal is to continue to create a virtual space that allows participants to explore diverse approaches to digital pedagogy from a variety of perspectives, including those of undergraduate/graduate students, faculty, librarians, educational developers, and technologists.

Our streams for this year’s conference include:

  1.  Digital Pedagogy and Emerging Technologies: Higher education institutions are navigating the intersection of pedagogy and emerging technologies. How are these innovative technologies reshaping teaching and learning experiences? What are the associated affordances, concerns, and implications?

  1.  Critical Digital Pedagogy and the Post-Truth society: It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell what is real and what is true. How can Digital Pedagogy help instructors and students to navigate issues related to digital literacy, data ethics, social media influences, etc.? How do we question and challenge dominant beliefs and practices in the field of Digital Pedagogy?

  1.  Digital (de)colonialism: How have digital pedagogy techniques and tools helped instructors and students address anti-racist and decolonization practices in their curriculum and research? What are the challenges and opportunities? Do you have any best practices to share?
  2.  Inclusivity, Accessibility, and Digital Pedagogy: Issues related to inclusivity and accessibility are at the forefront of Digital Pedagogy. What barriers have you encountered in your research and practice? How have you resolved them? What barriers remain? This is an opportunity to reflect on and share frameworks and best practices that have helped to reduce pedagogical barriers and integrate digital pedagogy approaches.
  3.  Sustainability, Renewability, and Environmental Costs in the digital sphere: Digital pedagogy is not immune to environmental critique. There are environmental impacts associated with generating the power and equipment needed to support digital initiatives. How should we reconcile the benefits of digital pedagogy with its environmental costs? Can digital pedagogy proponents be good environmental stewards?

Format

20 minute synchronous sessions presenting research, projects, initiatives, case studies, critical reflections, pedagogical innovations, or frameworks, as related to one of the conference streams, with additional 5 minutes for Q&A.
