• Global perspectives
• Leading academic learning
• Emergent pedagogies

The 2007 conference built on the First International iPED Conference held in 2006. It aimed to provide further opportunities for networking, academic exchange and friendly discussion.

A growth in third-stream activities is blurring previous boundaries between teaching and research, and bringing many academic staff and students into closer contact with the world beyond the academy. Increasing concerns over globalisation, sustainability and ethical practice made it timely to review conceptions of academic work and the capabilities that sustain it. They also made it ever more important to ensure that those who support the development of academic expertise and students' learning experiences are appropriately equipped and positioned to do so. Those attending were practice-based scholars, education researchers, academic developers, and higher education managers and administrators.
