Presentations (20+10 mins) should describe and evaluate an innovative
use of technology with students in higher education. Our focus is the
LLAS subject areas; however, we also welcome proposals related to other
disciplines, if the ideas can be generally applied cross-discipline.
This might include examples of student engagement for academic purposes
with virtual worlds, social networking websites, open educational
resources or other Web.2.0 tools; use of innovative learning designs or
creative elearning environments and methods. Presentations can be
delivered in person or by video link.
Workshops (60 mins) should introduce a way of using technology in the
higher education classroom. They should be highly practical and involve
participants in discussion and hands-on use of tools/methods
introduced.
Posters should present work on a particular project or topic. They
should summarise the key points and give enough appropriate information
for the topic/project to be understood in 5-15 minutes. They should be
visually interesting and designed to provoke informal discussion of the
topic/project amongst colleagues.
Successful applicants will be notified by 31st October, 2012 and will
be assigned a session on receipt of conference registration and fee. If
you have any questions about this call or would like feedback on your
draft abstract please contact [log in to unmask] before 1st
October 2012.
More information about the event:
LLAS, Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies will hold its
8th annual elearning symposium on 24/5th January 2013. The aim of the
symposium is to seek to bridge the gap between the `techie´ and the
teacher, giving educators ideas to help them integrate elearning into
their practice but also to inspire them to see where the online future
could lead. The symposium is always well-attended by practitioners from
a wide range of disciplines and institutions, and keynote speakers are
live-streamed. Following last year´s successful event, the two-day
symposium comprises a practical mix of workshops on authoring tools and
elearning techniques and presentations to inspire the mind with
exciting ideas about the possibilities that online learning offers. We
offer attendees a range of content from areas of more specific interest
to our core LLAS community, to topics of wider interest to educators
involved in elearning. We highlight best practice in using elearning
and feature an exciting mixture of research and reports from practice
to inspire our community.

year's programme: http://www.llas.ac.uk/events/archive/6395
