E-learning Practice

We are pleased to invite you to this new and exciting conference that will focus on the development, implementation and use of e-learning in health across the UK, with an overall theme of working together to enhance learning. It will take place on 16-17 July 2009 at the University of Warwick conference centre, just outside Coventry.

The event is organised by the Higher Education Academy Learning and Teaching in Health Network Group (HEALTH Network Group*), the University of Warwick, and King’s College London.

We welcome contributions and participation from anyone who supports or develops undergraduate or postgraduate programmes in health education, in both practice or HE settings.

The conference themes are:

Call for participation

Within the above themes, we invited 250 word summaries for posters, short presentations, demonstrations or workshops. We asked for contributions to be as participative and interactive as possible.
