This annual international teaching and learning conference is an excellent professional development and networking opportunity.
Message from Prof Mark Schofield, Dean of Teaching and Learning Development at Edge Hill University:
Dear Colleagues,
This conference is fundamentally about enhancement of student learning. The pursuit of learning and teaching excellence is not only right, but importantly, is high on the international higher education agenda.
The event provides an opportunity to both focus on and share evidence and insights into current successes and challenges in the modern world and modern university. To this end, the conference provides a rich arena; a metaphoric Homer’s ‘Agora’, a meeting place, where rich exchanges can occur. The conference series has been running since 2003 and has continued to attract colleagues from around the globe, convening around mutual commitment to the Scholarship of Learning and Teaching.
In 2006 Edge Hill was awarded a Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) for using digital technologies and online spaces. This SOLSTICE legacy lives on in the conference alongside a rich culture of collegiality, and sustained advocacy for excellence and the research teaching nexus.
Please come and join us to present, participate and contribute to imagining and delivering the best possible opportunities for our students in the UK and around the world.
