The exciting Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2010 Program is now complete!
The Conference Committee has been working hard with our four Keynote Presenters to ensure an innovative and motivating spread of presentations and workshops. We also had a difficult time selecting from the MANY excellent papers received via the Call for Papers which closed on 30th September 2009. But it has certainly been worth all of this effort to see the exciting program which has emerged as a result!
The 2010 conference will again focus on strategies for successfully using “inclusive learning technologies” to advance independent achievement for ALL – whatever form that achievement might take.
