Let Them Teach (English)
ITEC Webinar

Long Description
Abstract
"We’re at the point where the Internet pretty much supplies everything we need. We don’t really need teachers in the same way anymore" (Godsey, 2015). Information is no longer in the hands of the select few. Learners are finally independent of the teacher and school – or are they? What will they do with the information? How will it be possible to assess learning?
In this webinar, we will discuss ways in which face-to-face and fully-online students can teach as a way to learn.
