Dear Distancelearn Research Lists,
*** CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS ***
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ONLINE CONFERENCE, APRIL 21-23, 1999
http://www.hcc.hawaii.edu/pdoc
TOPIC CATEGORIES with a focus on higher education and adult learning:
* Innovations in the Classroom
* Promoting and Incorporating Technology in Teaching
* Faculty Development Program Planning and Organization
* Program Fund Raising
The all-online conference is designed for professionals in education
who are interested in learning about and sharing ideas, experiences,
and practices related to the topic categories. There will be text
and multimedia presentations, threaded e-mail discussions, and
scheduled live-chats. Scholarly presentations and discussions online
will be supplemented by other discussions hosted by volunteers from
non-presenter participants. The topics of these will be chosen by
the volunteer hosts prior to the conference.
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS. The conference is soliciting 2,000- to
3,000-word papers or "equivalent" multimedia presentations that fit
any of the topic categories. A 100-word proposal should be submitted
by March 1, 1999. Following acceptance of the proposal, the finished
paper or multimedia presentation will be due by April 1, 1999. Papers
should follow current APA or MLA guidelines. For papers, any software
applications and reasonably sized GIF images are acceptable. For
multimedia presentations and additional information, please see the
conference web page (address shown above). A personal photo, biography,
and URL's to presenter publications will be requested.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:
* Welcome, keynote, paper, and multimedia presentations online from
the comfort of your home or office at times of your choice.
* Interaction with presenters and other participants in both chat
and e-mail discussions -- opportunities for more interaction
than at travel-to conferences, including open educational and
social chat.
* Opportunities to host scheduled discussions of topics you suggest.
* Wide ranging professional presentations and discussions without
the expense of travel and accommodations or the need to cancel
classes.
* Topics from low tech to high tech, classroom to online, and
teaching to administration and support.
* Peripheral activities including virtual tours of Hawaii
(Battleship Missouri opened to the public just last weekend,
Atlantis Submarines, and Waikiki among others), shopping in
Hawaii, resources, and more.
* Optional personalized Certificate of Participation.
Please forward this announcement to others who you think might be
interested. See you at the conference.
