4 Takeaways from OLC Accelerate 2016

Last week we attended and sponsored the OLC Accelerate 2016 conference in Orlando, Florida. The Online Learning Consortium (OLC) is “driving quality online learning, advancing best practice guidance and accelerating innovation in learning for academic leaders, educators, administrators, online learning professionals and organizations around the world.” This edition of the OLC conference focused on improving online learning worldwide, something that has been NovoEd’s mission since the beginning!
We brought along our CEO Ed Miller, whose CEO announcement went out the morning of the second conference day. Apart from Ed, our Jen and Charlie were there to speak to many enthusiastic attendees and received quite the crowd in our booth.
From talking to other attendees, and attending a session here and there, we learned more about current online learning trends. This post recaps OLC Accelerate in some key takeaways for NovoEd and the online learning space as a whole.
At NovoEd, we strove to create a platform for the modern learner with the NovoEd Learning Platform, to enable the best possible learning experience. Our learning platform was designed with many of these takeaways in mind. If you have an online initiative where you need the best possible online learning experience, we would love to talk to you about how the NovoEd Learning Platform might be a great fit.
