 student resource professionals, instructional developers and students, from
across Canada, the United States and abroad, to share ideas, experiences and
perspectives about post-secondary education.
 
With its emphasis on interactive, practical and experiential sessions, the
conference will be rich in ideas for developing and invigorating teaching

Saturday Morning: What have I done that works?
