The 10th Annual SEDA (Staff and Educational Development Association) Conference, Professional Standards and Continuing Professional Development: constraining or empowering? takes place 29th - 30th November 2005 in Birmingham, UK. The conference is particularly of interest to UK educational developers, but the topic, i.e. professional standards in learning and teaching in higher education, could be of wider interest.
