TEC Expo 2022
Tuesday - Friday, November 15 - 18 | 12pm - 1:30pm
The Technology Enhanced Classroom (TEC) Expo was created as an annual event designed to showcase and celebrate interesting and innovative uses of technology in face-to-face, blended, and online classrooms within the Faculty of Education. Due to the increasing interest for participation from other Faculties at the University, this year it is open to all members of the UBC community, across disciplines and University locations.
After two years of COVID, which resulted in deeper engagement with technologies and tools, there is so much to share and show about new or different ways of teaching and learning. The eighth TEC Expo will be a four day long celebration, from November 15 to 18, 2022.
TEC Expo will consist of a combination of in-person and virtual engaging conversations.
Note:
- This event will be held virtually OR in-person depending on the date. Registration is NOT needed.
