May 17-19 Heike Philp hosts 6th Virtual Language Round Table Web Conference

Learning2gether Episode 160

The 6th VRT conference in 4 years took place over the weekend of May 17-19, 2013.  As usual, there was a stellar offering of presentations lasting most of each of three days.  Brainchild of Heike Philp, the conference was completely free and online and based itself at the following URLs:
