The Virtual Round Table conference is a live online conference dedicated to language learning with technology. It is aimed at educators andlanguage teaching professionals in language schools, institutes or other language related organisations.It purposes to introduce to its participants a number of tools and best practise on how to use these tools in class for the benefit of our languagelearners.With so many tools around, often the very decision on ‘how to use which tool’ for creating blended learning experiences or for selecting digitalteaching and learning material and also for building a web-presence and using tools for online marketing are difficult and timeconsuming and pales the efforts of learning the tools into insignificance.During this conference these issues will openly be discussed by small groups of experts in certain fields of technology so that the participants will be equipped with solid information so as to be able to make informed decisions.
