This year’s national conference of the Belgian network of Open and Digital Learning will deal with ‘learning today and tomorrow’. We could attract two excellent keynote speakers who will be dealing with the pedagogical and technological issues of the 21st century.

In the program below you will find more details about their keynote session and a short introduction about their expertise in the field of digital learning.

After the break we will continue with a panel debate adding two extra experts. You will have the opportunity to actively contribute to this debate.

We end up with a networking reception to reflect on the issues raised with other participants.
