Held on 30 September 2021, the theme was “Navigating the Realm of the e-Classroom: Creating Effective Culture for Innovation and Change”. The feature speaker was Dr Nancy Gleason , Director, Hilary Ballon Center for Teaching and Learning, and Associate Professor of Practice, Political Science, New York University, Abu Dhabi.
