Not long to go now until the biggest ever Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference hosted by Spectronics kicks off! We are really excited and hope you are looking forward to the conference as much as we are looking forward to having you there with us. If you are a “first timer” at an Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference, these introductory webinars might help you to get a feel for how to get the most out of your conference participation. We will take you on a tour of the innovative new web apps for planning your schedule at the conference, accessing presentation resources from all presenters and adding notes taken in the sessions to your timetable. Even if you are a “regular” attendee, you may also find this useful as many new initiatives are in place this year. Keeping it fresh and inspiring for you!
Do you have questions that you would like answered? If you have a question, odds on someone else will also benefit from hearing the answer too. So, we will have three of our enthusiastic conference committee on hand to answer your questions – Eliza Bale (Conference Convenor), Jacinda (Jay) Brown and Barbara Landsberg. We will also be recording the sessions so that if you are not able to join us “live”, you can watch the presentation later at a time that suits you better.
