As confirmed by the organizers, over 1,100 people attended the 41st聽conference of the聽Association Qu茅b茅coise des Utilisateurs d鈥橭utils technologiques 脿 des fins P茅dagogiques et Sociales聽(AQUOPS) under the theme 鈥淟earning together in the digital era.鈥 The conference brought together mainly teachers from Quebec elementary and secondary schools as well as adult education centres.
Attendees had access to a full schedule of training workshops and presentations focusing on digital tools such as the platforms offered by publishers.
The vast majority of attendees were already familiar with Copibec. It was an opportunity for us to explain our mission, which is to collect royalties when copyrighted content is reproduced and then redistribute them to creators in the book industry.
It was the first time we鈥檝e used our new freestanding banner to attract attention so we can tell visitors about our platforms! Our goal was to help them learn more about (or discover) DONA and SAMUEL.
