Teaching and Learning Tools
LEARN Web Events allowed subject-matter specialists, teachers, consultants & administrators to come together to investigate topics that are of interest to them. Using our online platform, educators from anywhere connected, shared and learned. Each month, a new live web event was scheduled with a completely different focus and target audience.
If you missed one... we've got you covered! Check out the archived web events (up to 2017) below and feel free to share your favourites with your esteemed colleagues.
