Overview

spacer The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (referred to as HETL) was founded and developed by Patrick Blessinger in 2010 with the vision of bringing together higher education professionals and thought leaders from around the world to dialogue, network, and collaborate on important issues relevant to transforming teaching and learning in higher education and to create sustainable peace around the world. Patrick Blessinger also serves as the organization’s chief executive officer (executive director) and standing co-chair of the board of directors.

The vision of HETL is to advance the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning in higher education.
