2008 Call for Papers

Scholars and practitioners of applied learning are invited to submit proposals for symposia, individual presentations, poster sessions or roundtable discussions. All presenters must register for the conference, and handouts are recommended for all presentation formats.

  • Symposia must include a minimum of three panelists who explore diverse perspectives on a single theme, and should be roughly 45-60 minutes in length.
  • Individual presentations are more in-depth explorations of an aspect of applied learning, and should be roughly 15-20 minutes in length.
  • Poster presentations offer an informal way for presenters to interact with colleagues. At least one author must remain with each poster throughout the poster session.
  • Roundtable discussants are expected to make a short introductory presentation and lead the discussion among participants at the table. Proposals should indicate the topic and major points of discussion for the intended audience.

Topics may focus on assessment and/or evaluation of the quality of applied learning, the development or administration of applied learning programs, or related topics. Each proposal should be sent as a Word attachment, and include the following:

  1. Which area of applied learning your proposal addresses (study away, independent research, internship/practica, service-learning, or co-curricular
    programming)
  2. Preferred presentation format (symposia, individual, poster, or roundtable)
  3. Title
  4. Author(s) names, institution(s), and contact information (including e-mail addresses)
  5. Summary of no more than 250 words (graphs, tables and photographs need not be included). Summary should include learning objectives for the audience.

Proposal Deadline is October 15, 2007

Submit to Dr. Kelly Henry at henry@missouriwestern.edu.

All proposals received by October 15th will be reviewed and considered for the program with notification of acceptance no later than November 16, 2007. The Program Committee reserves the right to accept proposals for symposia and individual presentations as posters or roundtables, contingent on space limitations
