In this interactive workshop we will look at how EMAs differ from TMAs and how to balance a holistic understanding of the overall module and the level of detail that this requires.

Please note that this workshop is scheduled to start at 20:30 and will last 60 minutes. You will need to book a free ticket to attend this Adobe Connect Online Room event. Tickets will become available in mid-April 2020.
