The UTS Video Meetups are our community of practice where academics and learning designers discuss educational videos. For our fifteenth event, we are excited to be once again hosting a cross-institutional community of practice event focused on educational media. Missed out on our last cross-institutional event?

We will be hosting a series of presentations followed by a Q&A panel discussion about all things educational media.
