Information for Applicants

iPads will not be provided – participants may bring their own and a list of the Apps which will be used is provided at the start of the event if participants wish to download some or all of these. However, having an iPad is not strictly necessary at the event.
To participate in the workshop element, participants will need a basic knowledge of how to use an iPad. Because of time constraints, the seminar will not cover technical issues relating to iPad use nor on accessibility features in any detail.
Registration is at 6.45 PM. The seminar begins at 7.00 PM and concludes at 9.30 PM, with a short break.
