The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (http://hetl.org/)
cordially invites you to attend the 2013 International HETL Conference
to be held at the University of Central Florida, in cooperation with the
UCF Karen L. Smith Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning.
In Towards Creative Learning Spaces: Rethinking the Architecture of Post-Compulsory Education
(2011), Jos Boys raises intriguing questions about changes in the
spaces we use in higher education, pushing educators to think beyond
traditional categories of “formal” and “informal” learning sites to
imagine more complex relationships between our classrooms and the world
beyond them. In the wake of increasing reliance on ever-expanding
virtual learning spaces, greater emphasis on experiential learning, and a
push toward the global classroom, leaders in higher education must
consider their work from a wide range of perspectives.
We invite you to join colleagues from around the world in an
exploration of innovative technologies, pedagogical strategies, and
international collaborations being used to engage and retain students in
the new millennium. Together we will discuss which models and
approaches are most promising, how are they being used to engage and
retain students, and how we can apply them to advance the scholarship
and practice of teaching and learning.
The conference will take place in Orlando, Florida. Home to the
Kennedy Space Center, Walt Disney World, and other world-class
attractions, the Central Florida region is recognized as a center for
innovation in industries ranging from simulation and training to
telecommunications, to entertainment and medicine. Please consider
submitting a proposal for a presentation or simply plan on joining us as
a participant.
