Call for Poster, Paper and Workshop Proposals

The theme for the fall 2011 SUNY-Oswego Symposium on Learning and Teaching is experiential learning.  Students engagement and deep learning tends to be higher when students actively apply concepts on real-world applications. These applications can take many forms from internships, cooperative learning arrangements, simulations, experiments, or well designed and engaging class activities.

The Committee on Learning and Teaching is soliciting proposals for poster, paper, or workshop presentations that describe innovative and successful instructional practices that address these issues.

Please submit a poster, paper, or workshop proposal to celt@oswego.edu by August 31, 2011. This proposal should contain the following:

1. the name(s) of the presenter(s)
2. an abstract describing the teaching innovation
3. the preferred format of the presentation (poster, paper presentation, panel discussion, or workshop)
4. any special technical requirements required for the presentation.

The abstract should clearly describe the teaching innovation that will be presented and should provide a description of the assessment of the effectiveness of the innovation.

All proposals will be subject to a peer review process conducted by a COLT subcommittee. Submitters will be notified of the outcome of this review within 5 days of the due date.

The due date for proposals is August 31, 2011. Please submit your proposals by email to celt@oswego.edu. The symposium will take place on Friday, October 7 and Saturday, October 8.
