WISE at ALISE - Call for Participation

The WISE Consortium invites experienced and successful online 
instructors from a variety of WISE member schools to deliver 
presentations on effective online pedagogy at the ALISE 2009 Annual 
Conference in Denver. The presentations will take place during the fifth 
annual pre-conference workshop sponsored by WISE on the morning of 
January 20, 2009.

Presenters selected for this workshop will lead discussions and share 
ideas about effective strategies based on their experience with 
particular LIS courses and content areas. Priority will be given to 
presentations that address the following issues related to online teaching:

    * Promoting student engagement and participation, communication
      internally within the online classroom and outreach beyond

    * The instructor as course manager, balancing the curriculum between
      implementing new technology and maintaining sound pedagogical
      practices

Interested faculty are invited to submit a one-page proposal outlining 
their presentation to amckinn@illinois.edu  
by November 10, 2008.
