In this innovLogue session, Learner Engagement More Than Just Fun, our panel of experts will lead a discussion on the topic, bridging the latest research with on-the-ground practices. Drawing on the breadth of knowledge and insights of speakers from different areas, academic and industrial, innovLogue aims to raise the bar on learner engagement in the pursuit of better learning outcomes for all.

Now we turn our attention to another vital component of the learning equation — the educator of this new digital space.
