Navigating the Learning Technologies Multi-verse<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/myapps.northcarolina.edu\/digitallearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2019\/12\/Wagner.jpg\")
Despite their pervasiveness in higher education, learning technologies continue to be fraught with apprehension within the academy as educators are skeptical of the true impact that they bring to effective teaching and learning. Dr. Ellen Wagner\u2019s keynote will make sense of the panoply of emerging learning technologies, strategies and desired outcomes that are shaking up the very foundations upon which so many of today\u2019s education professionals have built their instructional practices. Ellen will discuss a strategy to help guide faculty identification of and engagement with learning technologies that considers their needs for research-based selection and pedagogical alignment, as well as faculty-specific digital learning experience. Further, Ellen will share how the rate of technological innovation leads to an ever-changing educational landscape and how innovations that center on learning will lead to transformative educational shifts.<\/p>\n
