There will be brief scheduled breaks between sessions and a lunch break from 11:45 AM until 12:30 PM. There is no registration fee or other charges to participants.

This is one of a series of conferences/institutes we have organized and hosted on an applying science of learning in education theme (https://www.unh.edu/cetl/ceitl-conferences). You can further review additional information here.
