The iPED Research Network www.coventry.ac.uk/iped is pleased to welcome you to join us for the 3rd International iPED Conference which will focus is on ‘Academic Visions and Realities’ for higher education staff and students through its themes of conceptions of leadership, emergent pedagogies and academic writing.
Our programme and planning for September are now well advanced. We would like to encourage you to join researchers, practitioners, academic management and educational technologists who will explore our themes collegially. The first two iPED Conferences each involved colleagues from well over 100 institutions across the globe, in roles as peer reviewers, authors, presenters and delegates. iPED 2008 has built on this success.
