The Teaching Community Conference began in 2018 as a shared initiative with the E-Learning Office and the Faculty Development Office. The goal of the conference was to build more connection within the teaching community at UPEI. The conference hosts presentations by UPEI faculty members, staff, and students within all disciplines. Each year we gather with new and familiar faces with the hopes of sharing ideas and creating excitement around teaching and learning. The the E-Learning Office became part of UPEI's Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) in 2023. The TLC team is thrilled to continue this work of building connection by hosting the 2025 Teaching Community Conference.
