To ensure a broad slate of session offerings from different individuals and institutions, we ask that participants submit no more than three session proposals as lead and as co-presenter(s). We particularly encourage joint applications from individuals at different institutions.
Proposals must be submitted using our online submission system, which will be available mid-to-late July. Proposals should include:
- Names, positions, institutional affiliations, 50-75 word biography, and contact information for presenter(s). The person who submits the proposal will be the key contact. Indicate whether each presenter is attending the conference. Please note that each individual may be involved with a maximum of three submissions for this conference (see above).
- Title. Please be succinct. It is not expected that you include the conference theme in your title. Your session should make the link appropriately and explicitly.
- Session type. Please indicate whether you would be willing to consider another session format if your session is not accepted as it is proposed.
- Abstract (not to exceed 250 words) outlining the objectives, content, and format for the session. Word your abstract with the needs of the participants in mind. This abstract will appear in the conference program. Proposals should use the APA citation style.
- A descriptive outline – seen only by reviewers – of what you will cover in your session including:
- two to four goals that you hope your session will accomplish;
- how your session will encourage participant engagement and interaction (discussion, video, group activities, etc.);
- relevant research and scholarship that you will draw upon in your session;
- insights about leading change in teaching and learning; and
- how your session relates to the conference theme.
- Audiovisual requirements.
Submission deadline extended to: October 23, 2015
