Speed Dating with Learning Technologies (online via Zoom)
A matchmaking event where you "date" a range of technologies
Participants will have around 9 minutes to "speed date" (learn about) a specific tool or service before meeting their next "date." Each Zoom breakout room will introduce a resource of interest, and matchmakers (presenters) include staff from across UITS Learning Technologies and other key partners—including publishers and vendors of learning tools and digital courseware.
We look forward to helping you make a perfect tech match!
