You are invited to attend and present at the 2026 AECT Online Conference, the week of March 9, 2026. This conference supports the ongoing efforts made by practitioners in the field of educational technology by bringing together a diverse array of expertise from around the world to share their scholarly practice, best practices in implementing educational technology initiatives, and their innovative approaches to instructional design and performance improvement. 

 

The theme for the 2026 AECT Online conference is Joining Forces: Embedding Research into Practice. 

 

Technology continually evolves, just as AECT has continually evolved over its century as a premier organization in the field. This year’s theme encourages a dynamic fusion of research and practice. We welcome submissions that reflect a diverse interpretation of this theme. Examples of relevant topics may include: 

  • Enhancing the field through scholarly practice. 

  • Integrating action research enhanced technology. 

  • Implementing cutting-edge technologies in the field. 

  • Enhancing best practices in professional development and training. 

  • Addressing performance improvement in a high-tech society 

  • Applying research to 21st century pedagogy 

 

At this online conference, we want to facilitate conversations about the practical applications in our field through the sharing of best practices, demonstrations, and scholarly practices, such as dissertations in practice and action research.
