Teacher presenting a novel idea for online learning in front of a crowd.

This page will keep you in the loop about what is going on in Aalto Online Learning. Be it a recently held conference keynote or an upcoming Call for Idea Proposals, you will hear about it here. Every now and then we might appear in other media outlets as well, and we will make sure to tell you about it on this page. In addition, we will occasionally reflect on what we have learned about online learning along the way.
