In this special year-in-review episode of All Aboard with Rob Belliveau, host Rob Belliveau looks back on a powerful season exploring online learning, educational technology, and the human stories behind innovation in education.

Rob revisits conversations with guests from higher education, literacy organizations, assistive technology companies, and public safety, highlighting how AI, Brightspace (D2L), and other edtech tools are transforming teaching and learning—without losing the essential human-centered focus.

• Democratization of learning
• Accessibility and inclusion
• Community building in digital spaces
• The power of storytelling and podcasting in education
