2nd European Immersive Education Summit
26th and 27th November 2012

iED Summits are official Immersive Education Initiative conferences organized specifically for educators, researchers, and administrators. iED Summits consist of presentations, panel discussions, break-out sessions and workshops that provide attendees with an in-depth overview of immersive learning platforms, technologies and cutting-edge research from around the world. iED Summits feature new and emerging virtual worlds, learning games, educational simulations, mixed/augmented reality, and related teaching tools, techniques, technologies, standards and best practices….

We are all being challenged to find *new* ways to engage our students in the virtual and physical spaces of our schools and campuses; challenged to connect the dots to learning.

Join the Connectors Team at Seneca College in Toronto, May 23rd-25th, as they share ideas and build a community of practice focused on connecting the dots to advance learning.
