CDTL’s fifth International Conference on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education was held on 3–5 December 2008 at the Auditorium of Prince George’s Park Residences. Participants spent three days engaged in lively debate and exchanged ideas, insights and experiences over a range of teaching and learning topics, including teaching methodologies, quality control in higher education and the most effective ways to assess student learning. Feedback from the conference was positive and encouraging, with many participants exchanging contact information with their peers so as to continue their discussions beyond this event.
