South Carolina Conference on Innovations
in Teaching and Learning
Anderson University - 2025 Host
Anderson University is honored to host the 2025 South Carolina Conference on Innovations in Teaching and Learning (SCCITL), marking the first time this prestigious event will take place in the Upstate. As one of the most innovative institutions in the Southeast, Anderson University proudly stands as a five-time Apple Distinguished School, a testament to our commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology in education.
Located in the heart of the vibrant city of Anderson, South Carolina, Anderson University is a selective, Christian, comprehensive institution that offers a wide array of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs both on campus and online, as well as through the University Center in Greenville. Our institution’s reputation extends beyond its rapidly growing enrollment, being recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and The Chronicle of Higher Education Almanac as one of the fastest-growing private universities in the nation. This growth is fueled by Anderson’s well-earned distinction as a leading institution of higher learning, consistently ranked among the best regional universities in the South by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review.
SCCITL History
SCCITL was created by a group of South Carolina higher education faculty, staff, administrators, and librarians from across the state with the innovative idea from three members of the Medical College of South Carolina: Mary Maudlin, Executive Director, Office of Instructional Technology and Faculty Resources; Dusti Annan-Coultas, Assistant Professor and Director of Operations, Office of Interprofessional Initiatives; and Melissa Hortman, Associate Professor, Director of Instructional Technology, Office of Instructional Technology & Faculty Resources. The first two in-person conferences had success in proposals submitted and attendance. The 2021 virtual conference was no different than the prior two in-person conferences. The 2023 conference engaged faculty/staff, administrators, librarians, instructional designers, and graduate students across the state, county, and even internationally.
