HERDSA 2026 · Singapore · 7–9 July
The program, threaded into the commons
Every session of the HERDSA 2026 on-site program — keynotes, papers and roundtables — clustered into the themes the commons already works in. Find your session, find your colleagues, and when the conference ends, keep each thread going on NTLSN: free, open, national.
447 sessions across 14 themes.
Keynotes & plenaries 5 sessions
Three keynotes, the closing panel and the sponsored workshop — the moments the whole conference shares.

Assessment & feedback 41 sessions
Design, feedback literacy, marking, workload and the quiet machinery of assessment.
Active, experiential & playful learning 49 sessions

After the last slide
A conference ends; the work doesn’t have to. NTLSN exists so the sector’s teaching and learning conversation has somewhere permanent to live — paid for by universities, free for every academic.
