The Annual Conference on Applied Learning in Higher Education (CALHE) will be held March 6-8, 2025 on the campus of Missouri Western State University.
Assessment of Applied Learning
The 2025 conference theme focuses on assessment tools, strategies, and outcomes in applied learning. Participants are invited to share their approaches, successes, and lessons learned in their assessment of applied learning. Submissions do not have to directly encompass the theme. We welcome submissions that may address an applied learning activity, community engagement or research, including theoretical and philosophical foundations of applied learning.
Presentation Guidelines
Oral Presentations
Oral presentations will be limited to 25 minutes including time for questions. The Conference will provide a podium, presentation computer, mic, and projector. Presentations should be prepared in PowerPoint or Google slides and may be displayed from a memory stick or accessed from a Cloud-based drive.
