International HETL Association Information

The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL) is an independent, nonpartisan, nonsectarian, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization open to all educators from all nationalities, all institutional types, and all functions, levels, and disciplines within the global educational community. HETL advances the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning in higher education by focusing on four core areas: 1) global networking and interdisciplinary collaboration, 2) research, innovation, and academic publishing, 3) higher education development and capacity building, and 4) human rights and social justice. The vision of HETL focuses on teaching and learning because the teaching-learning process is the most fundamental process that lies at the core of all educational systems, regardless of institutional level or type or mission or discipline, and because lifelong and lifewide education lies at the heart of social and economic empowerment for all citizens.
