Building the future of learning, together.
Hosted by the Office of the University Provost, the Future of Learning Community Fest is ASU’s annual two-day intellectual jam, bringing faculty, students and changemakers across disciplines together to exchange ideas, test possibilities and move promising work forward.
The future of learning takes center stage.
What makes FOLC unique?
FOLC Fest brings together faculty, students, creators and leaders from across ASU to explore the ideas changing how we learn, assess, work, create and expand opportunity.
From new teaching practices and creative approaches to emerging technologies, FOLC is where ideas meet application. Across disciplines, we’ll share what we are building, learn from one another and shape what comes next for learners and society.
Present your work or idea.
We’re looking for sessions that bring the work itself into the room: drafts, prototypes, models, practical tools and honest lessons learned.
Proposals should center students, advance equity, draw on evidence and offer ideas or practices that colleagues can useand adapt. We especially welcome collaborations across disciplines, units and institutions.
These themes are conversation starters, not boundaries. Find one that best represents your work or idea and submit your proposal for review.
Future of Learning
How will people learn and what will they need from us?
Explore new approaches to teaching, learning environments, learner engagement and student success.
Future of Assessment
How do we measure what truly matters?
Reimagine how we evaluate progress, make student thinking visible, recognize learning and build trust.
Future of Access
How can meaningful learning reach more people?
Examine the designs, technologies and partnerships that can extend access, accessibility and human connection at scale.
Future of Work
What will learners need for work that is still taking shape?
Explore the changing relationship between education, skills, technology, careers, communities and lifelong learning.
Future of Creativity
What becomes possible when imagination leads?
Consider how story, design, media, simulation and creative practice can deepen understanding and inspire new solutions.
The future of learning takes all of us.
