This is a LAB where we will experiment collaboratively.”

Learning colleagues from around the world will gather together to experiment with a wide range of Learning Innovations including: Learning Apps, Mobile Video, Curated Content, Connected Classrooms, Virtual Reality, Assessment and Coaching Tech, and much more.
