Instructors, students, and professional staff employed by a Wisconsin institution of higher education. Vendors can act as co-presenters but the focus of the session should be about the product implementation and benefits and not on sales of the product.

Proposals will be selected and placed into one of the conferences tracks. The tracks are:

  • Digital Learning Environment What have you learned about using a Digital Learning Environment that you’d like to share? Discovered interesting features that everyone should know about? Canvas tricks that you’ve picked up?
  • Student Engagement How do you engage and inspire your students? How do you focus their attention, curiosity, and passion? Share your story and resources here.
  • Teaching and Learning Have you used technology to prepare instructors to teach or to assist students with learning? What train-the-trainer opportunities have you created? Have you built a community of instructors? Held a workshop for instructors and/or students? Select this track for your session if you’ve created something to educate instructors or learners.
  • Technology and Other Resources Do you have a skill to share? Have you created a wonderful set of resources for faculty and students? How have you incorporated media into your classroom? What resources are you using? Let’s hear about your user guides, knowledge bases, and instructional videos.
  • Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning What efforts have you made to improve accessibility for your users? What tools do you promote? What are you doing to minimize barriers and maximize learning?
  • Open Educational Resources Do you have a story to tell about your use of OERs? Have you created OERs, used them in teaching, or simply think they are splendid? If so, share your experiences here.

     

  • Share your innovations!

    • How are you using technology in education?
    • How are you making a difference?
    • What technologies are you finding successful?
    • How are you engaging your students?
    • How are your students responding to your social media efforts?
    • What makes your class different and successful?
    • How are you collaborating with others?

    Presentations during concurrent sessions will be 45 minutes: 30 minutes for presentations and 15 minutes for questions and answers. All sessions will be given via the Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing tool. Sessions will be recorded and available for archive viewing. The LTDC highly encourages collaboration, use of appropriate and acceptable technologies, multiple institution, and multiple discipline proposals.
