Dear Colleague, We wish to alert you to the forthcoming Third Annual International Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL). The first two conferences, formerly known as the Annual UK & USA Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL), held in London have proved to be highly successful events. They have attracted scholars researching their teaching from many disciplines and from several countries. We are pleased that we already have many expressions of interest from US Carnegie Scholars who are planning to attend the event next June. Distinctive features of the conference: · Contributions from teaching scholars · Leading figures from the SoTL movement in the US and UK will feature on panels, including: Gene Rice, Director Faculty Roles and Rewards Forum, Senior Scholar, AAHE Liz Beaty, Director (Learning and Teaching), Higher Education Funding Council for England Richard Blackwell, Senior Advisor, Generic Centre (UK) Dan Bernstein, Director of Center for Teaching and Learning, University of Kansas · Opportunities to dialogue with US Carnegie Scholars and UK National Teaching Fellows · Papers, Works in Progress, Project Reports, and Workshops demonstrating the scholarship of teaching and learning We hope to welcome back those who attended previous events and others for whom this will be their first London SoTL conference.
