What to Expect at OEB 2022 - Shaping the Future of Learning

The Engageli Team has been on the road this fall and our next stop is Online Educa Berlin (OEB) next week (23-25 November), an annual global conference and exhibition that focuses on the latest developments in learning technology. In its 28th year, the conference is focused on “Re-imagining Our Vision for Learning”. OEB promises to critically examine how technology opportunities and challenges are transforming the world of learning - it wasn’t a hard decision for the Engageli Team to attend and connect with fellow thought leaders!

Over 2,500 attendees are expected across education, corporate and government sectors. They will have over 100 interactive sessions and formats from world-class experts waiting for them, as well as some exciting networking events! Our team has put together a list of sessions & events to help you make the most of your conference experience, including a session featuring our very own Engager, Talia Kolodny, who will share Engageli’s insights on human-centered classrooms!
