Instructional Technology and Design Services (ITDS) invites you to our 2026 Summer Institute for Teaching, Learning and Technology. This year's event will take place on Wednesday, June 3, and Thursday, June 4, in the University Hall Conference Center. 

Join your Montclair colleagues as we come together to explore how we can design learning experiences that humanize learning. For two decades, this conference has been a hub for collaboration, innovation and transformative ideas in education.

Our theme for this year, Humanizing Learning: From Content to Connection, means designing experiences that recognize students as whole people. It’s about incorporating the rich perspectives, experiences, and questions they bring into our classrooms, and creating environments where they feel seen, valued, and capable.

Together, we will discuss what the future of education might look like and ways to design for humanizing learning. Each day will include a variety of presentations and workshops to inspire, support and engage you.

Keynote Speakers

• Day 1 Keynote with Dr. Michelle Miller: Intentional Intersections: Tapping Into Learning Science with Technology
• Day 2 Keynote with Shiren Vijiasingam: What AI Forgets, and What Teaching Remembers

*Please indicate during registration if you plan to attend the first, second, or both days of the 2026 Summer Institute.
