CARRBORO, N.C., April 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Program details have been released for the Leading Learning event, Learning • Technology • Design (LTD), hosted by Tagoras (http://www.tagoras.com). The event, designed specifically for professionals in the business of lifelong learning, will be held May 18-19, 2016 in Arlington, VA.
The program is designed to offer a blend of active and collaborative learning opportunities and will incorporate best practices in adult learning. There will be an emphasis on case studies and actionable approaches to technology-enabled and technology-enhanced learning.
"As we did with our highly-successful Leading Learning Symposium, we created this program based on feedback from early registrants as well as our advisory panel. As a result, we were able to determine the content and activities that would be of highest value to participants," says Celisa Steele, co-founder of Tagoras.
