We actively solicit proposals that showcase TLT findings and work in progress from faculty, librarians, staff, administrators, and students who would like to share their knowledge and expertise with colleagues. Proposals about collaborative work, including projects that involve educational, non-profit, commercial, or government organizations, are encouraged, as are submissions on other TLT-related topics. The proposal submission deadline is Monday, October 15, 2007.
Proposal Submission Overview
Conference participants include professionals from academic departments, libraries, and teaching and learning centers, as well as those involved with instructional design, distance education, instructional technology, faculty development, information technology, and more!
When submitting your proposal online, you will be required to select one of the Conference Tracks. These tracks help participants find sessions of interest to them.
Session Types include panel discussions, roundtable discussions, hands-on workshops, formal presentations, and demonstrations. Session lengths are 90 minutes for workshops, and 30 or 50 minutes for other session types.
This year we are piloting the inclusion of sessions in which the presenter uses interactive and/or emerging technologies to engage the audience. For example, presenters might facilitate the creation of a mashup during the session, present in a 3D virtual world, or bring in a co-presenter through a synchronous learning management system.
We also strongly encourage sessions that actively engage participants in other innovative ways. Presenters might have participants post to a discussion board, read an article, listen to a podcast, or watch pre-recorded viewpoints prior to attending the session. The possibilities are endless!
If there are any requirements for the participants – bringing a laptop, reading materials in advance, participating in a prior online discussion – please make these requirements clear in the session description.
The Collaborative Café is an online tool to assist you to identify and establish connections with others who have similar interests. We strongly encourage prospective presenters to collaborate in developing proposals by joining the Collaborative Café.
You can also use the Café to look for requests that have been submitted by others as described above. While you are encouraged to continue to visit the Café, please keep in mind that Monday, October 15, 2007 is the deadline for all proposal submissions.
Conference Proceedings are planned for distribution after the conference, and will be available from the TLT Conference website. Further information, including criteria for peer review, formatting details, and deadlines for submission, will be available on the conference website in the spring. The proceedings are intended to continue the collaborative work that goes on at the conference and to extend its influence to those who are not able to attend. All participants are encouraged to submit their work for inclusion in the proceedings.
