Within education, these modern or upcoming tools are strategically and effectively used to enhance the teaching and learning experience. This workshop introduces participants to a range of emerging technology tools and will also illustrate the ways in which these tools can be used, in the context of the UWI St. Augustine campus, to effectively enhance teaching and learning.
