Spend 90 minutes in a hands-on workshop (or two) with the latest learning technologies and learn some great new techniques.
In order to explore the theme Learning Partnerships, we have assembled a panel to discuss what learning partnerships are and how they might benefit and support your work. Hear how others are using partnerships and have the opportunity to question them about what they are doing.
Throughout the program we bring you information and demonstrations of the latest learning technologies. Take the opportunity to get involved during the breaks!
