The Digital Education & Learning Technology Acceleration (DELTA) program supports, encourages, and highlights ongoing experimentation to enhance the teaching and learning enterprise at Johns Hopkins University.

Organized in collaboration with the Center for Educational Resources, the symposium will highlight the projects that were funded by the Digital Education and Learning Technology Acceleration (DELTA) grants and will also feature presentations and a poster session. The keynote address will be delivered by Bryan Alexander of Georgetown University. Dr. Alexander is an internationally known futurist, researcher, writer, speaker, consultant, and teacher, working in the field of how technology transforms education. His latest book, Academia Next: The Futures of Higher Education, was published in January 2020 by Johns Hopkins University Press.
