SHSU Online is excited to announce the 14th Annual Digital Education Summit (#DES25)! This year, we’re combining our two signature events—TSUS Faculty Development Days and the Digital Education Summit—into an expanded, two-day, fully online experience.

Mark your calendars for Thursday and Friday, June 26–27, 2025.

This free virtual event will feature one day dedicated to TSUS Faculty Development and another packed with engaging sessions focused on cutting-edge trends, innovative practices, and proven strategies in digital education for educators worldwide. Whether you’ve attended one of these events in the past or are joining us for the first time, #DES25 promises a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.

  • Day 1 will consist of our traditional Digital Education Summit with sessions on best practices, trends in digital education, and more.
  • Day 2 will focus on faculty development with practical takeaways, technological how-tos, and the future of Blackboard from experts at SHSU Online, TSUS affiliates, and beyond.

Attendees can look forward to dynamic keynotes for both days, forward-thinking breakout sessions, and actionable insights led by experienced educators and industry leaders at the forefront of digital education. Whether you're new to online education or a seasoned professional, this summit will equip you with the tools and strategies to enhance your teaching effectiveness and student outcomes in virtual environments.
