What is IGET?

This semester, we launch IGET: Interest Group for Educational Technologies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!

IGET’s main goal is to cultivate a community in which members engage with and learn from each other, generate new ideas and share best practices, as well as identify and help adopt technologies that advance the overall educational mission of our institution.
