Independent Learning at Contents the e-Fair - 4th July
The first Eastern region e-Fair took place at Bedford College in 2001 and now the eighth of this highly successful series returns to Bedfordshire on the 4th July, this time at Barnfield College. The first e-Fair had the aim of enabling colleges and other providers to ‘show and tell’ their in-house developed approaches to using ILT such as online key skills assessment, an interactive recipe book, NVQ tracking software and beauty therapy resources. This theme has continued with ensuing e-fairs and this year’s will be no exception.
From those small beginnings this annual highlight of the Eastern region has expanded into the inclusion of workshops and an exhibition area with over one hundred delegates attending. Furthermore we provide all attendees with a useful item for their professional activities, for example last year this was an MP3 player; which could be used for podcasting, memo taking and creating voice files for PowerPoint presentations.
