Moving Beyond "One-Size-Fits-All" by Targeting Three Strategic and Transformative Approaches: Evidence-Based Learning; Personalized Learning and Holistic Outcomes Assessment Hynes Convention Center  Boston, MA  July 27-30, 2015

The mission of Global Learn conferences and events is to further the advancement and innovation in learning and technology. As the educational world becomes increasingly global, new ways to explore, learn, and share knowledge are needed. 28 Global Learn serves as a means to connect and engage creative educators, researchers, consultants, training managers, curriculum developers, and others in the topics and fields in which they are passionate about.

In 2015, join us in Vancouver, BC, as Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia host the 35th Annual Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) 2015 Conference on June 16 - 19, 2015 at the Westin Bayshore hotel. The conference will encourage and facilitate the improvement of teaching and learning in post-secondary education in Canada. We invite our colleagues to Canada's West Coast to dialogue about their experiences and engage in scholarly inquiry into student learning to enable us to "fine-tune" our practice as educators and educational leaders. Tune in to the beauty, enjoyment and activities Vancouver has to offer. Join us in "Achieving Harmony: Tuning into Practice".

The 32nd edition of the conference list covers selected events that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2015 are complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held from July 2015 onward. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses to anyone. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next.  

Registration for the 2015 National Early Childhood Inclusion Institute is now open! The Inclusion Institute, presented by the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG), is the premier event for people from all early childhood sectors to come together to learn, share, and problem-solve about inclusion for young children. This year's theme is Implementing Quality Inclusion Practices:  Supporting People, Programs, and Policies.

The role of the educator is key to fostering learning experiences that support and sustain the development of lifelong learners and leaders in our society. At the 2015 STLHE conference, Achieving Harmony: Tuning into Practice, we will investigate the diversity of issues converging in higher education while acknowledging that the dissonance we can encounter in our work as educators is an opportunity to create transformative learning experiences for us and our students. We invite our higher education colleagues to Canada's West Coast to share their experiences and engage in scholarly inquiry into student learning to enable us to "fine-tune" our practice as educators, educational developers and educational leaders.

Faculty, staff, and administrators throughout higher education are employing contemplative practices for many reasons. These include sharpening attention; creating environments that enhance the well-being of all; addressing inclusion and access for all in support of the vibrant diversity of our institutions; deepening engagement and learning of subject matter; reflecting on and supporting meaning-making; considering the wider impacts of our actions; and ultimately supporting the development of a more just and compassionate society. Given the breadth and depth of these many intentions, the types of practices used are extremely diverse, and their assessment needs to be approached with great sensitivity. Assessment of practices designed to develop attention, for example, will be different from assessment of those practices designed to increase conceptual understanding or develop compassion and creativity.

The Higher Education Summit explores the major issues of the day and the challenges facing educators, governments, business leaders and others. This year's conference takes place Nov. 23 and 24 at the Fairmont Royal York hotel in Toronto.

The Centers for Teaching & Technology will host the 8th annual "The SoTL Commons" conference in Savannah, Georgia. The conference brings together people engaging in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and research that helps improve student learning outcomes in higher education. The conference epitomizes that college teaching is intellectual work that is enhanced both by disciplinary scholarship and the scholarship on teaching the disciplines (SoTL) that is enhanced by both disciplinary scholarship and the scholarship of teaching and learning. The SoTL Commons Conference is a catalyst for learning, conversations and collaborations about SoTL as a key, evidence-based way to improve student learning.

MacEwan University, the Students' Association of MacEwan University and the University of Alberta are teaming up to host a symposium on academic integrity on October 17-18, 2014 for instructors, students, and administrators.Topics discussed at the symposium will include teaching for academic integrity, use of "plagiarism detection" software, and brainstorming sessions on how all members of an academic community can contribute to a culture of academic integrity.James M. Lang, author of Cheating Lessons: Learning from Academic Dishonesty, will be the keynote speaker. More information can be found at http://www.academicintegrity.ca/

This year's conference theme is Leverage. This theme invites us to explore the various roles that we play as faculty developers, administrators, teachers, and students, and the ways in which we capitalize on the assets around us to meet the many needs of the higher education community, ideally doing more and better work with less effort. We hope this theme and conference will build on Kathryn Plank's 2013 Presidential Address, during which we all contemplated who we are and our relationship to the meaningful work that we do. In that spirit, how do we leverage who we are to better accomplish all that we are asked to do, and why do we persevere?

Keynote speakers Dr. Tony Bates and Dr. Alec Couros
