Through surveys and interviews of faculty members across Canada, Dr. George Veletsianos, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and Technology at Royal Roads University, and his research team are uncovering some fascinating thoughts. They’ll share some of those emerging results in this webinar.
