Overview Program & Speakers Pre-Conference Workshops Venues and Travel

The MIT LINC Conference brings an international group of researchers and practitioners together to discuss how learning science, pedagogical approaches, and digital learning can provide quality pK-12, higher education, and workforce learning at scale, particularly in developing nations.

Join our discussion and help shape important research and outreach policies as we navigate the expanding dimensions of learning in an era of rapid technological and social change.

Who attends?

LINC invites scholars, practitioners, students, corporate executives, government officials, foundation professionals, EdTech companies, and startups to gather and share research on and insight into digital learning engineering, learning sciences, and pedagogical approaches. LINC attendees are encouraged to network, seek collaborations, and present their own research and experiences during the conference. 

What is LINC?

LINC 2019 provides a framework for a meaningful discussion about education access, adoption, and application, allowing speakers and presenters to share their views and findings on the key technological, social, and cultural challenges we face in the new learning society, especially in developing nations and emerging markets.

Since 2002, LINC conference participants have been sharing research in education, including technology-enabled educational innovations. 

  

Theme: "How to Thrive in a New Learning Society"

Over the past decade, a new generation has emerged of mobile, diverse learners, all with disparate levels of educational preparation, motivation, and interest. These learners include traditional students, disrupted learners such as the 68.5 million people forcibly displaced worldwide, and the 262 million children and youth across the globe who do not go to school. This generation also includes workers who need to adapt to recent and forthcoming changes in the labor market.

These learners are part of what we view as the “new learning society,” a generation whose lives are being reshaped by social, economic and political shifts, and whose educational opportunities are being redesigned and reconfigured by developments in wide-ranging fields, including artificial intelligence, digital learning, and brain and cognitive science. 

The conference will focus on learning and learners internationally at three levels: pK-12, Higher Education, and the Workforce.
