BLUENOTES GLOBAL (BNG) 2020 VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE
The Bluenotes GLOBAL Conference is the perfect place to meet, share, discuss, and learn about innovative solutions that Bluenotes community institutions in Higher Education are implementing to harness the power of feedback.
In collaboration with the University of Louisville, Explorance is hosting the 7th Bluenotes GLOBAL 2020 virtually per suggestions from various Bluenotes community members during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a very difficult decision; however, we feel it was the best option at this time to ensure that all Bluenotes community members remain well and safe.
By attending, you will benefit from the experience and expertise of other Bluenotes community colleagues for your professional development, and leave with an expanded network of like-minded peers in Higher Education who are passionate about feedback-informed continuous improvement and innovation for student learning and development. The Bluenotes GLOBAL 2020 Virtual Experience theme is Harnessing the power of feedback to advance transformation in teaching and learning.
