Educators assemble for blackboard teaching and learning conference Asia Pacific 2021

KUALA LUMPUR: Educators from India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region are convening virtually for a two-day free event, beginning today, for the Blackboard Teaching and Learning Conference Asia Pacific (TLC) 2021.

The event, created and hosted by global education technology leader Blackboard, went virtual for the first time last year.

It is aimed at bringing the education community across the region together to share and learn from one another, according to a statement.

Delegates to the event will discuss issues including educator empowerment, change management, assessment practices, academic integrity, driving learner success and optimising the student experience.

"It has been a challenging 18 months for learners, educators and everyone in the education industry globally. Now, more than ever, it's important for us to come together as a community," said Blackboard Vice President Asia Pacific, Yves Dehouck.

"The silver lining of hosting TLC virtually again this year is that we have been able to broaden the reach of the event, making the lessons learned during the pandemic more accessible to more people across the Asia Pacific region," he said.

TLC Asia Pacific 2021 will also offer more than 40 sessions, feature speakers from Australia, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Singapore and include client-led sessions featuring case studies and showcasing their innovations based on Blackboard solutions.
