AADES is the peak professional organisation in Australasia representing school level distance education.
AADES was formed in 1993 and currently has in excess of 1200 members across all Australian states and New Zealand.

Are you coming to our Biennial AADES Conference in Sydney? Please join us to acknowledge exceptional teaching and leadership at the AADES Awards Dinner. The dinner is included in your registration. You're invited to add a touch of sparkle to your outfit as we celebrate and share the achievements of our distance education community.

Artificial Intelligence and the challenges and opportunities it presents for our online teaching and learning environments has emerged as a prominent theme for our conference. AADES is excited to announce that it has added an additional keynote to the program to address this theme, Natasha Banks, Program Director for Day of AI Australia.

In this 60-minute AADES webinar, Sydney Distance Education Teachers will showcase their use of Canva to meet the learning needs of their diverse cohort of students. Participants will explore how Canva can be utilised to create a range of engaging and interactive learning activities and asynchronous learning materials. The release of new Creative Arts, History and Geography, and Personal Development Health and Physical Education syllabuses in NSW, required us to develop learning resources that all teachers could pick up quickly to create learning materials and interactive activities.
