I’ve suggested that the 2008 STLHE Conference was a very good example of the theory of KI in action. The organizers provided a video which gives a very good overview of the conference: Video of STLHE 2008

Hi Elizabeth,
I have been attending STLHE since 1999. What keeps me coming back is the very rich interchange of knowledges and lasting networks of connections. Post-secondary teachers seem destined to share, and without exception, my teaching changes and improves to some extent from each annual meeting I attend.
At a time when university promotion and tenure focus strongly on publication of scholarly work in peer-reviewed disciplinary journals, I would argue that a much more effective form of peer review is to present your work at a conference workshop and discuss the comments of your colleagues face-to-face; most of which occurs after your session in hallways or over dinner. That direct, collegial interchange of ideas is what impacts our professional growth in the best possible way.
