CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Submission Deadline: December 17, 2010
The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) is pleased to announce the 2011 Annual Conference Call for Proposals. The proposals are now being accepted based on the conference theme, "Distance Learning Leading the Way." We invite your proposals and participation in this exciting and important event. There is also a unique opportunity this year to present your session in our virtual classroom setting, which means your session will be viewed by face-to-face attendees as well as those attendees joining us virtually. You will be able to note an interest in the call for proposal link below.
There are several ways to participate;
· Concurrent information sessions provide an opportunity for you to give an interactive presentation in one or more of the conference topic areas. Conference attendees expect sessions to provide practical advice and the sharing of experiences. The committee seeks high quality, thought-provoking and interactive sessions not lecture format. Co-presenters are encouraged.
· Poster sessions allow presenters to prepare a standing table-top poster that describes a project, process, research or other activity. During the reception before the Awards Dinner on Tuesday evening, conference participants will visit with poster session presenters for information, dialogue and networking.
· Small panels are also encouraged, particularly those that address a conference topic from several points of view.
We recommend that proposals be specific about what will make your presentation valuable to attendees. Any proposal that is perceived to be a "sales pitch" will not be considered. Your proposal should be focused on innovative issues, working solutions and should address the conference theme. All presenters are expected to register for the full conference.
