South Western Branch Technical Talk

This is a South Western Branch event organised and run by our South Western  Branch for its members. Other members and non-members are welcome to join us.

Could the use of blended E-Learning and virtual reality programs be one of the methods used to deliver these outcomes? This webinar highlights what is available and how it can be best employed
