The Power of Practice – Transforming Experience into Innovation

The Division of Student Success and Institutional Partnerships is excited to host the fourth Digital Learning Summit, where leaders, educators, and innovators will gather to explore the latest trends and technologies shaping the future of digital learning. This free virtual conference will be held Tuesday, February 10 and Wednesday, February 11, 2026.

This year’s theme, The Power of Practice – Transforming Experience into Innovation, centers on cultivating agile, innovation-driven approaches that support student success, timely completion of credentials of value, and seamless transitions into high-demand careers, advancing the goals of Building a Talent Strong Texas by ensuring credentials are meaningful, accessible, and economically transformative for all Texans.

The Summit will feature engaging virtual sessions to allow participants to collaborate and network with practitioners from institutions of higher education across Texas. In addition, institutions will be invited to host collaborative Idea Exchanges at their campuses using provided facilitator resources, such as interactive activities and discussion prompts.  We look forward to hosting a conference that brings together institutions of every type and from every region of Texas, building bridges and fostering collaboration across the state.  There is no registration cost to attend this event.


Idea Exchanges

To enhance the virtual summit experience, institutions were invited to host live, campus-based Idea Exchanges that bring participants together for meaningful, in-person engagement. These onsite events, ranging from intimate gatherings of like-minded peers to large conference-style sessions, provide a dynamic platform for extending conversations sparked by thought-provoking summit programming. Through open dialogue and collaborative discussion, Idea Exchanges enable participants to share insights, explore perspectives on digital innovation, and deepen the impact of the summit within their campus communities.
