The UQL Cyberschool Seminar

Seminar Overview

Information technology and electronic information continue to develop at an ever increasing pace. The way students use the technology and access the information impacts on learning spaces.

How can we restructure these spaces, particularly the school library, in the most efficient and cost effective way to meet the needs of these students in the 21st century?
