Learning Platforms Think Tank - 20th April 2007

Programme 

You do not often get the opportunity, in one room, to meet and talk with both senior representatives of SO MANY of the main suppliers of managed services or learning platforms AND members of the senior management teams in schools that are using these. Speakers at the meeting  produced pre-briefings, allowing more time at the meeting to be spent in discussion of the issues they raised.

9.45am Short presentations from members of school senior management teams.
