MRU Institute for SoTL

MRU at ISSoTL 2015 in Melbourne

I’ve just returned from the 12th annual conference of the International Society of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.  Despite its being in beautiful but far-away Melbourne, Mount Royal had a good showing – 7 presentations which were all well-received!  See the twitter feed #issotl15 for more conference highlights.
