ICED promotes educational development (ED) in higher education worldwide.
Educational developers work with individuals, groups, and institutions to enhance the practice, theory, and quality of teaching in support of student learning. ED is also known as academic, faculty, or staff development.
As a network of networks, ICED’s members are national, transnational, and independent ED organisations.
