Overview

The conference focuses on the pedagogy underlying use of interactive whiteboards, visualisers, tablet PCs, remote input devices, voting systems, etc., including their support for 'dialogic' classroom interaction. It brings together pioneering researchers, practitioners, teacher educators and policymakers. The aims are to share and debate ideas, work in progress, emerging theory and findings, and to compare practice in different countries. An outline programme and Call for Papers will be posted in late September.
