CEnet is excited to present Synergy Session 2024, a one-day event tailored for CEnet’s COG and eLearning Working Groups. This session offers a platform to engage in stimulating conversations about best practices, adding value, and addressing common challenges.

The theme for this year, Continuing the Focus: Gen AI, explores how we can leverage the opportunities presented by Gen AI in education and beyond. We will also explore the potential impacts on Diocesan systems, processes, and teaching and learning. In addition to fostering discussions from a Catholic Education standpoint, the Synergy Session will allow Diocesan teams to collaborate and strategise actionable steps.

We extend an invitation to current members of the COG and eLearning Working Group to join us at this event!
