E-Expo ‘08: Over until next year May 22, 2008
Posted by cbarnes in : Uncategorized , add a commentThe E-Expo has been a terrific success, well organised, well run and well received. It showcased services from all sections of the Learning Commons operating under a single umbrella, brought new people in to the Commons, and presented many high-quality sessions.
There’s been a real buzz about the whole day. Compliments and praise have come from students and staff. It’s been a tremendous show of energy and enthusiasm, and I want to add my congratulations and appreciation to all involved.
