Learning on Screen 2009

Call for papers

The Learning on Screen Conference 2009 will be held at The Wellcome Collection (183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE) on 7th and 8th April 2009 and the Learning on Screen Awards evening, which is part of the conference, will take place at the nearby Holiday Inn Regent’s Park on the evening of 7th April. The conference is being held with the kind assistance of The Wellcome Trust.

Learning on Screen, the annual conference established by the Society for Screen-Based Learning, focuses on the delivery of learning and research with moving image and sound - be it broadcasting, web delivery or cinema.

The 2009 conference will commence at midday on 7th April and conclude at 2.30 pm on 8th April. Plenary sessions will be held in the Henry Wellcome Auditorium and there will be a small scale exhibition arranged in the adjacent Williams Lounge where refreshments will also be served. During the two days there will be opportunities to visit The Wellcome Collection’s spectacular permanent and temporary exhibitions.

1. Two key themes of the Learning on Screen Conference 2009 will be:
2. Disability and Access to Moving Image and Sound
3. Online Moving image and Sound Services for Learning

The programme will be arranged in 30 minute sessions. We are therefore seeking proposals with a speaker presentation time of 20 minutes each. Please submit your proposal (with a title and 200 word summary, along with your name, current position and short biography) to [log in to unmask] on or before 15th January 2009.

We look forward to hearing from you.
