USDLA 3rd Annual Conference ~ April 26-29, 2009 ~ The Hilton at the Ball Park, St. Louis, MO

Submission Deadline: December 5, 2008USDLA is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the 2009 Annual Conference. Proposals are now being accepted based on the 2009 theme, "Distance Learning: Becoming faster, stronger, and better." We invite your proposals and participation for this exciting event. 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. Sessions should be lively and interactive, not a lecture format. Co-presenters are encouraged.

• Poster sessions allow presenters to prepare a standing table-top poster that describes a project, process, or other activity. During the poster session times, conference participants will visit with poster session presenters for information discussion.

• 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. Please do not plan to make a sales presentation. Your proposal should be focused on innovative issues and working solutions and should address the conference theme as much as possible.

All presenters are expected to register for the full conference. Presenters will be given the Early Bird registration rate after they are notified of a successful proposal.

Call for Reviewers – JALN

The Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks is looking to expand our volunteer reviewing base. Reviews are typically needed within 2–4 weeks of assignment. If you have expertise in the topic area of online education and are interested in a first look at some of the latest research being conducted in online education and asynchronous learning networks, please register with our online reviewing site http://jaln.sloanconsortium.org/index.php/jaln/user/register , and indicate on the form that you are interested in reviewing, as well as indentifying your specific fields of interest in the text box below the “reviewer” check box near the bottom of the form.

The aim of the Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks is to describe original work in asynchronous learning networks (ALN), including experimental results. Our mission is to provide practitioners in online education with knowledge about the very best research in online learning. Papers emphasizing results, backed by data are the norm. Occasionally, papers reviewing broad areas are published, including critical reviews of thematic areas. Papers useful to administrators are welcome. Entire issues are published from time-to-time around single topic or disciplinary areas. The Journal adheres to traditional standards of double-blind peer review, and authors are encouraged to provide quantitative data; currently JALN's acceptance rate is 25%. The original objective of the Journal was to establish ALN as a field by publishing articles from authoritative and reliable sources. The Journal is now a major resource for knowledge about online learning.
