Blended Mode of Participation in ICLTE 2023
ICLTE 2023 continued traditions of LASTE Conference and worked to provide an opportunity to a large international community of academicians to participate in the conference and present their studies.
That is why a blended mode of participation was chosen as the most optimal one offering the opportunities to those who would like to come to Turkey and, namely to Bursa as a conference central location, to visit the city, and at the same time to all those academicians who could not travel but were willing to present their studies at the forum to do it.
The conference was hosted in Bursa (Turkey). Those participants who were able to come personally, were invited to visit Akademik Koleji (Bursa) and have sessions with the students and teachers of the college.
Virtual presenters and attendees participated in online sessions and were able to follow all the conference program in an online mode.
