ICED has come a long way since 1993. The third ICED conference will be held in Bielefeld, Germany from July 22nd - 26th, 2000. The International Journal for Academic Development, the first publication of its type to focus specifically on university instructional development across the world, is published twice annually. There you can find more information about the new journal, as well as a list of interesting resources relating to teaching and learning in higher education.
Links also exist to web pages prepared by our sister organizations across the world.
Issues of teaching and learning in higher education cut across national boundaries, and academics in many parts of the world share our concerns and offer interesting solutions to problems we face here in Canada. Some of you have already discovered this from visits to institutions and instructional development centres in other countries. The International Consortium for Educational Development opens a window on issues and practices in institutions across the world, and can provide a wonderful source of information and contacts for all of us working to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in higher education.
