Our theme for this special ETUG gathering is Back to the Future: Looking Back, Moving Forward. It embraces moving educational technology forward with all its possibilities for innovation and expanding knowledge, while at the same time, looking back, learning from, and honouring what has gone before and recognizing core principles that have stood the test of time.
