Call for Proposals opening soon!

 

What the Program Committee will be looking for in COLTT 2013 Proposals:

Our faculty audience seeks a message with applicability to their teaching, such as, affordable and easy to use tools, cool websites, innovative approaches to lecture planning and presentation, live links; in other words, great takeaways. 

 

Basic Requirements:

  • A short 7-9 word title designed to attract attendees' attention;
  • An abstract, which is a brief (50 word) description of the session;
  • A description of 300 words or less that will be posted online for the audience to review prior to the conference;
  • A link to your presentation materials that you will using in your session (optional). 

 

As was the case in prior COLTT conferences, we anticipate a competitive process. Your proposal will be judged against other proposals submitted. 

 

Some suggestions that will improve the chances that a proposal will be accepted and that attendees will rate a session highly:  

 

  • Session description clearly and accurately describes the session content;
  • The technology level of the session is accurately identified and communicated (For Mere Mortals or Cutting Edge see definitions below). 
  • References from attendees of other sessions of yours are not required, but would be helpful. 

 

COLTT 2012 Technology Levels of Presentations:  

 

For Mere Mortals: structured, well-paced for those with little or moderate experience using technology in teaching, accommodates questions, explains and demonstrates the topic. 

 

Cutting Edgenovel technologies or tools with significant potential for implementation in teaching and learning, faster pace than the mere mortals level, more exploratory or advanced.

 

 

An effective COLTT proposal will include:

•    Evidence that the presentation demonstrates a clear link between learning,teaching, and technology;

•    A clear statement about what participants will learn during the session and, how they will be actively engaged;

•    Information about actionable outcomes, such as practices that can be brought back to home institutions, or demonstrated outcomes of an idea or practice.

 

Acceptance Notification:

 

Presenters will be notified by email if their proposals have been accepted or not. We will place session descriptions on our COLTT 2012 conference wiki for preview by attendees as soon as we are able to do so. This will help potential attendees evaluate the value of the conference to them, as well as which sessions would be appropriate for their interests. Presenters whose proposals are accepted will need to register and pay by early in order to hold their place in the program. Please contact us with additional questions in this regard. Thank you.

 

COLTT provides a projector and standard cable, basic classroom tech support and wireless connectivity in each session room. We cannot provide instructor stations or laptops, flashdrives, or Mac projector DVI connectors/cables. COLTT 2013 is a BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) event for all.
