ITLS Participation at AERA 2019

Faculty and students in the Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences (ITLS) Department will share their research and participate at the AERA Annual Meeting in Toronto from April 5th to April 9th 2019. According to their website, "The American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meeting is the world’s largest gathering of education researchers and a showcase for groundbreaking, innovative studies in an array of areas." The conference will be at Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

This conference is the perfect opportunity for faculty and students to share the research projects they have been working on via poster sessions, presentations, workshops, and more. It is also an opportunity to learn from other scholars' research and build opportunities to collaborate.
