Dr Philip C Abrami presents ‘What do we know about ICT enabled learning and distance education: Evidence and practice?’, on Tuesday 1 August from 4pm to 5pm.
Philip is a Professor of Educational Technology and a Research Chair at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. He will be attending the Key Forum of Indigenous Education and Employment at the 2006 Garma Festival, 5-7 August.
