The Educational Developers Caucus (EDC) defines itself as a community which aims to facilitate the advancement and evolution of educational development as a field of practice and scholarship through networking, professional development opportunities and advocacy.
The 2021 EDC Conference will take place on Zoom between 17 and 18 February 2021. This virtual event will bring educational developers from across Canada together to celebrate their accomplishments, help them connect with each other and explore ways to prioritise their own wellbeing. It will also feature self-care sessions, show-and-tell presentations and facilitated social spaces. The theme for this year’s conference is “Celebrating, Connecting, and Caring for Ourselves”.
