"True personalised learning would require personalised devices and technologies. Handheld Learning shows the routes that learners are already taking and provides some of the debates required" Merlin John, Journalist
However the event isn't only about seminars, workshops and plenary sessions, extended refreshment breaks and an evening social reception means that serious connections are made.
"There's something new for everybody - whether you are taking your first step in the path to personalise learning, or you want to build your existing expertise. The ultimate networking experience!"
Valerie Thompson, e-Learning Foundation
If you're interested in the future of personalised learning then please register now. If you believe that a colleague will also be interested then please forward this email to a colleague.
"Since last year's great conference there has been a huge amount of interest in schools over students' use of mobile technologies. This year's conference will be even more successful." Tony Parkin
