Information Systems announces TechX 2021 and calls for proposals

The following message is shared on behalf of Information Systems (IS). Wake Forest Information Systems "TechX" event logo

Our current environment has presented us with a unique opportunity to redefine the TechX experience! For 2021, TechX will focus on how our campus community has creatively incorporated technology into the classroom, workplace and other collaborative spaces to deliver an enriched learning experience, foster relationships and engage constituents.

IS will host a virtual three day event,
March 23-25, featuring an interactive web experience for attendees to watch videos, read articles and participate in workshops highlighting this important work.

We would like to invite you to participate in this event, sharing your own story or suggesting a colleague’s work. The IS Academic Technology team, the IS Communications team and members of the Instructional Technology Group (ITG) will work with presenters to find the most engaging and unique way to share their story with campus. To share a proposal for TechX 2021, please email the TechX Committee by Feb. 12.
