There is still time to submit a proposal for the 2013 ELD Conference and we have some very exciting news to add to an already exciting conference
The new submission deadline is March 17, 2013 and the reason we’ve extended the window to submit is because select proceeding from the conference will be published in the new Journal of Emerging Learning Design (ELDJ). This is not to say that all presentations will or are expected to appear in the ELDJ, or that consideration for ELDJ is a requirement of submission. But for those who are interested, publication in this peer-reviewed journal is going to be an option. Details on the ELDJ appear at the bottom of this notice.
As part of our rolling acceptance method of creating the conference program, we’ve already secured some great presentations. Don’t delay in submitting yours to fill our remaining spots alongside presentations like these:
- Christopher Donoghue will help you increase the frequency and quality of instructor-student interaction in distance education using Qualtrics, in “Virtual Instructor-Student Interaction in an Asynchronous Learning Network”.
- Michael Kolitsky will show us how to enable different modes of learning, on-demand, with “Where Does 3D Printing Fit Into Your Pedagogical Thinking?”
- John T Oliver will make a case for the pedagogical value of open, collaborative knowledge construction in “Making student Wikipedians: Encouraging disruptive scholarly communication”
- Sophie Idromenos will demonstrate game design using Scratch in a hands-on workshop called “The Scratch Disruption: Video Game Design with Scratch.
We are also pleased to announce that the Very Early Bird Registration pricing has also been extended until March 17th. So there’s still time to get the lowest registration cost available, at least for a couple more weeks.
