We believe technology is forcing educators to make decisions and adapt to the way learners are changing their behaviors. Learners today want to learn on their terms, when and where they like. The design of TLC reflects those needs. Everyone gets a chance to present, everyone has a chance to participate in many ways, in person and online. We also believe that emerging technology has the potential to help us be more inclusive as educators, so we are designing TLC to take advantage of augmented and virtual realities to include as many people as possible. Think of TLC as if TED, UNconference, a webinar, VR gaming, and an academic conference were all mixed together.
