Exeter Online
Online conference coverage of the 42nd IATEFL Conference
The British Council and IATEFL have launched the Exeter Online website which offers coverage of this year's IATEFL Annual Conference in Exeter.
The Exeter Online website allows remote participants to take part in one of the world's biggest ELT conferences through a variety of resources including:
- Video recordings of selected sessions
- Audio recordings of selected sessions
- Live streamed plenaries and events
- Moderated special interest discussion forums
- Chat sessions
- Blogs and photo albums
To visit the Exeter Online website, go to: http://exeteronline.britishcouncil.org
The first time you visit the site, you'll need to create your own free user account.
This initiative builds on the earlier collaboration between the British Council and IATEFL in Aberdeen last year, which brought together 1,600 teachers and trainers at the actual conference, and 2,500 online. This year we expect a much larger audience, and this is a real opportunity to take part in the biggest online ELT training community.
The launch of the Exeter Online website gives you an opportunity to share ideas with teachers all around the world. There will be interactive coverage with video presentations, reports and interviews 'almost live' from Exeter.
We look forward to meeting you online, and hope that you will share this information with your colleagues worldwide.
