About the webinar
Education Exchange: Digital CPD – what do educators want? This free webinar was held on 21 June 2022 at 16:00 BST.
During the pandemic, we have seen an explosion of CPD conducted digitally. But what is the appetite among educators for digital forms of continuing professional development? We share our research findings into the experiences and preferences of educators.
In this webinar the lead researcher, Kieren Liu from Everfi research agency, presents insights from over 6,000 teachers, head teachers and policy makers from more than 75 countries. Teachers that took part in the research share their professional reflections on the appetite, benefits and challenges of digital CPD.
