Community ManagerCatching EDUCAUSE Online... Who’s Tuning In? 👩💻
Hey everyone!
I wanted to pop in and see who else is planning to join the online portion of the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference 2025 this week! I wasn’t able to make it to the in-person event in October, so I am really looking forward to catching some of the online sessions this time around 👩💻.
A couple that look really interesting and worthwhile attending are:
“Welcome Aboard - Rethinking the Student Journey as a Digital First- Class Experience” - this session is all about creating a more seamless, engaging digital experience for students.
“New Research and Resources for Building Students Self- Directed Learning Online” - this session focuses on helping students take more ownership of their online learning.
Before joining Dropbox, I worked in the education sector, so these kinds of conversations about digital learning and student experience are especially close to my heart 💙. I know many of you here use Dropbox to support teaching and learning, whether it’s sharing course materials, organizing research or collaborating with your colleagues and students. I am especially curious to hear what sessions or topics you think connect to that side of your work 👩🏫 .
So, is anyone else planning to tune in today and tomorrow? What sessions are you most looking forward to?
It’s always fun hearing how everyone’s bringing new ideas (and new tools!) back to their classrooms and campuses! 🎒

These EDUCAUSE online sessions sound really relevant, especially around digital-first learning and self-directed study. For educators using Dropbox to share course materials and collaborate with students, being able to revisit session slides later is always helpful. I usually keep important presentations saved for reference after events like this, sometimes using tools such as a SlideShare downloader best tool alongside Dropbox to organize learning resources more effectively.

Theresa I love this! That one session you mentioned, “Welcome Aboard - Rethinking the Student Journey as a Digital First- Class Experience” is probably the one I was most curious about. I worked for an ed tech company before coming to Dropbox, and it was some of the most fun I've had in my career. That was a passionate group of people, most former educators themselves, and they were devoted to the idea of learning in everything they did!
Since having kids and seeing the new wave of tech available to them to amplify their learning journey, I'd say I'm keenly tuned in to how the education industry is shifting to accommodate what's out there on the horizon.
