Journal History

Cheryl Jeffs, EdD, Founding Editor and Brit Paris, PhD, Co-Founder. Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching (PPLT) began when Cheryl Jeffs, the Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching chair, recognized a need for presenters to further document their scholarship. Conference presenters are invited to submit papers that are peer-reviewed to meet internationally accepted scholarly standards and are published to provide unrestricted open-access to a wider public. Supported by a 2015 University of Calgary Teaching and Learning Grant and the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, the first volume was published following the 2016 Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching.
