ISSoTL 10 - Global theories and local practices: institutional, disciplinary and cultural variations

4 day event - 19 October 2010 until 22 October 2010

This multidisciplinary, international community of scholars will convene to share evidence-based insights and theoretical frameworks that enhance our understanding of student learning and guide our teaching practices. Incorporated into this year?s conference, is the 18th Improving Student Learning Symposium, an established annual event on the International calendar organized by the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development, Oxford Brookes University. The major aim of the Improving Student Learning Symposia is to provide a forum, which brings together those who are primarily researchers into learning in higher education and those that are primarily practitioners concerned more pragmatically with improving their practice.

The conference will be held in the heart of Liverpool on the historic, world heritage waterfront, at the BT Convention Centre, Monarchs Quay, Liverpool UK which sits alongside the Grade 1 listed Albert Dock complex on the eastern bank of the river Mersey. The conference will feature workshops facilitated by leading scholars in the field, distinguished international plenary speakers, panel presentations, individual paper and poster presentations, and roundtable discussions.
