Cambridge Online Experience, Asia
The webinars explore current and exciting topics which have been chosen based on their relevance to our region. Each day will feature one presentation of general interest as well as one presentation and panel discussion aimed specifically at teachers of primary, secondary, or tertiary age students. The sessions will be delivered by leading professional learning and development experts from Asia and beyond. Registration is free, and you can attend as many sessions as you like. For each webinar that you take part in, you will receive a certificate of attendance from Cambridge University Press.
Welcome to the second Cambridge Online Experience, Asia, a three-day-long webinar series designed to support teachers and educators in schools, institutes, colleges, and universities.

Teachers have shown amazing resilience and dedication to make sure learning still happened. As we continue to move forward, Cambridge is still committed to supporting every teacher, and so we have prepared sessions and panel discussions on a wide range of topics relevant to you all:
