ISSOTL 2021

Event overview

The annual International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching (ISSOTL) conference is an important venue for facilitating the collaboration of scholars in different countries and disciplines and the flow of new findings across national borders, that the Society so values. This year, in response to the circumstances created by ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and ISSOTL’s eagerness to fully convene again, the 2021 annual conference will be ISSOTL’s first hosted in an entirely virtual environment.

The ISSOTL21 conference will allow real-time participation for presenters and attendees from all over the world. The conference will be hosted virtually from the University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth, Australia. UWA will facilitate live sessions to cover two time zone clusters: Asia-Pacific with North & South America, and Asia-Pacific with Europe & Africa. The ISSOTL Executive Director team will facilitate the time cluster of North & South America with Europe & Africa. Through live conferencing software, participants can view and engage with keynote speeches, parallel presentation sessions, workshops, and panel presentations in real-time as they are happening. There will also be informal meeting rooms open to all and the ability to schedule private meetings with other attendees within the platform. All sessions will be recorded for later viewing.

The ISSOTL are delighted to be able to offer registrants an equivalent experience to the annual ISSOTL face to face conference, through the structure of our time zone clusters and an excellent virtual conference software platform.
