The Educational Technology Users Group (ETUG) is a community of BC post-secondary educational practitioners focused on the ways in which learning and teaching can be enhanced through technology. Our community is diverse, composed primarily of post-secondary professional staff, instructors, learners, and academic and technology administrators. We are affiliated with our educational colleagues in other sectors and welcome dialogue with the vendor community. Our core value is commitment to nurturing a vibrant, innovative, evolving, and supportive community that thrives with the collegial sharing of ideas, resources, and ongoing professional development through conferences, workshops, and informal e-communications.
As a grassroots group, ETUG has been in existence since 1994 and over the years has presented the following activities and events for its members in support of innovation and best practices in educational technology in BC:
Annual face-to-face workshops held in the fall and spring
Annual BC Innovation Awards in Educational Technology
Online discussions on topics of interest to members
Audio and videoconference events
Institutional updates
The Steering Committee for the Educational Technology Users Group (SCETUG) is responsible for organizing activities for ETUG.
SCETUG and ETUG activities are funded by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education (AVED) and sponsored by BCcampus.
