The Learning Technology Advisory Committee (LTAC) of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has announced several key initiatives and events aimed at enhancing student success and digital learning across the state. During their August 8, 2025, meeting, committee members shared updates on upcoming conferences and opportunities for collaboration.

One of the most significant events is the Texas Conference on Student Success, scheduled for October 29-31, 2025, at the University of Texas at Austin's AT&T Conference Center. This year's theme, "Charting Brighter Futures: Ignite Stellar Student Achievement through Resilience and Innovation," aims to foster discussions on innovative strategies for student success. Notable speakers include Dr. Archie Holmes, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the University of Texas System, and Kyle Clark, Assistant Dean for Advising at the Moody College of Communication.

In addition, the committee highlighted Texas Digital Learning Week in November, which will celebrate high-quality digital learning initiatives throughout the state. This event will showcase various projects and resources, including open educational resources (OER) and innovative course materials designed for broad adoption.

Looking ahead, the committee is also planning the Digital Learning Summit for February 2026, which will serve as a premier event for discussing advancements in digital education. More details will be shared in the coming months.

Finally, the LTAC encourages institutions to nominate students for its student subcommittee as the new academic year approaches. This initiative aims to involve students in the advisory process, ensuring their voices are heard in discussions about learning technology.

These events and initiatives reflect LTAC's commitment to improving educational outcomes and fostering innovation in Texas higher education. As the committee prepares for these significant gatherings, stakeholders are urged to participate and contribute to the ongoing dialogue about student success and digital learning.
