conVerge12continues to create a space which engages the VET community (and beyond) in dialoguethat encourages everyone to create the advantage that e-learning provides. conVerge12 showcases those who have taken the initiative: sharing knowledge about new tools and technologies, stimulating new ideas, promoting effective partnerships and passions that are focussed on effective e-learning initiatives, and integrating theory and practice in the demonstration of effective and innovative strategies, delivery and programs.
