From 23 to 26 June 2020, six members of TELIT-SA attended the Edmedia & Innovate Learning 2020 virtual conference.

Six full papers were accepted for publication in the conference proceedings, and one article was selected for publication in an academic journal. Clarise Mostert, Liandi Van Den Berg, Verona Leendertz (NWU) and Joyce Johnston (George Mason University) participated in a panel discussion on Surviving post-COVID 19.

Koos De Villiers (NWU) in collaboration with Sara Muršić (Edge Hill University) lead discussions with the emerging scholars on subjects concerning novice academics.
During the conference, the members had an opportunity to engage with scholars across the globe on issues about technology innovation and integration. The COVID-19 transition from face to face education to online teaching and learning and the opportunities and challenges thereof was the hot topic of the conference. Through the presentations and social engagement with participants, it dawned that universities in the North face many of the same challenges as those in the South.
