We have over 100 scholars registered for the 5th annual Symposium on Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Banff on November 6-8! The Symposium includes 3 pre-conference workshops plus keynotes from international, regional and local scholars and students, not to mention energizing examples of SoTL research, deep dives into methodology, and refreshing perspectives on teaching and learning.

Notes for presenters

If you are presenting in a concurrent session:

• There are no moderators for these sessions so please introduce yourself. The last person presenting in a session may act as the timekeeper.
• We will have attendance sheets at the front of each room. We hope you will assist by filling them out. We intend to use the information for planning purposes (for example, we are interested in which types of sessions attract higher attendance to facilitate future scheduling).

If you are presenting a poster:

• Tripods, boards, and velcro stickies will be available Castle/Assiniboine rooms. We ask you to set your posters up before the opening reception so that they may be viewed throughout the Symposium.
• Poster session will begin Friday at 2:30 pm.

One project the Institute is supporting this year is to develop and collect resources for scholars. To contribute, please check your emails for an invitation to participate in a very brief survey on Key Figures in SoTL.

If you are not from the area, please note that forecasts for Friday through Saturday are for highs of about 5 degrees (Celcius) and lows below freezing.  Gloves and warm shoes and jackets are recommended.

And finally, for the technophiles among us, we have started a twitter hashtag at #ssotl14.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
