We are very excited to invite you to the Summer Institute for Distance Learning and Instructional Technology (SIDLIT “Side Light”) 2024 Annual Conference, which will be held on July 29-31, 2024 in Kansas City, Kansas. This year marks the 25th anniversary of SIDLIT, and we have prepared a special program to celebrate this milestone. For the first time ever, our physical location this year is: The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), 3901 Rainbow Blvd., Kansas City, KS, 66160 – or join us virtually!

The theme of SIDLIT 2024 is “Lensing the Past, Zooming In on the Present, Developing Future Passions for Learning.” We will explore together how we can use the lessons learned from the past, the challenges, opportunities, and innovations of the present, and the emerging trends of the future to enhance our online learning and instructional design practices. We will also collaborate on how we can foster and activate a passion for lifelong learning among ourselves and our students.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility 

C2C aims to host SIDLIT 2024—in-person and virtually—in a mutually respectful environment. SIDLIT 2024 is inclusive of people from all backgrounds: ethnicities, races, countries of origin, ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, body sizes, economic backgrounds, educational backgrounds, professional backgrounds, employment statuses, abilities, and other dimensions. We are getting together, staying together, and building the future together, with all of our strengths together.
