ASEC News and Announcements
April 24, 2026 - Save the date! Our Spring conference will take place at MITT.
This conference will bring together adult educators from across the field to engage in collaborative dialogue and hands-on exploration of artificial intelligence and teaching practice. Participants will examine how AI tools are reshaping the ways educators approach lesson planning, student assessment, and the development of learning resources — with an eye toward both the practical opportunities these technologies offer and the broader ethical and pedagogical questions they raise.
Beyond the general sessions, the conference features topic-specific round-tables designed to give educators space for deeper, discipline-focused conversation — allowing participants to connect with peers facing similar challenges and contexts in their own fields.

Live and Learn
A film by Kevin Nikkel
Original music by Jesse Krause
Live and Learn is a short documentary film about learning in adulthood. Going back to school as an adult can feel intimidating but it is worth it. These are stories from people who decided to go back to an adult learning center and upgrade their skills, get high school credits, and for many of them, to graduate with a Mature High School Diploma. The results are amazing.
Live and Learn world premiered at ASEC's 2024 Spring Conference!
