OBTC 2009 CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Early Submission Deadline: December 8, 2008
Final Submission Deadline: January 12, 2009
Proposals will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis
2009 Conference Theme
From Good Teaching to Good Learning
OBTC is unlike many other academic conferences, with expectations for high
degrees of interactive participation in most sessions. There is an informal
and collegial atmosphere, with longer breaks between sessions and many
conversations; often into the night. Most attendees stay on campus, which
this year is in a beautiful location, within the historic district of
Charleston. The campus blends old and new, with stately live oaks and
palmettos, some buildings dating from the 18th century and a School of
Business and Economics in a recently expanded building. All conference
venues are within a 5 minute walk and feature housing and food services in
facilities opened in fall 2007. The site coordinator is Gordon Dehler
(
dehlerg@cofc.edu)
The conference will include several plenary talks by distinguished
academics, a Thursday evening event at the Charleston Maritime Center (with
Lowcountry food and entertainment and spectacular views of Charleston Harbor
and Fort Sumter), and the traditional Friday night Talent Show and Awards
Program. Preconference activities include the Doctoral Institute. It should
be a great conference. We hope you can attend and also that you think about
presenting.
We encourage you to submit proposals for the program as described on the
reverse, but dont feel you have to do so in a vacuum. Please contact the
Program Coordinator, Joe Seltzer (
seltzer@lasalle.edu) to discuss ideas and
plans, especially well before the December 8 submission date. In many cases
he can connect you with experienced OBTC presenters to help design and
develop your proposal.
We will again use rolling reviews and plan to put most of the program
together with papers submitted by the December 8, 2008 early submission
deadline. Papers received up until the final deadline of January 12, 2009
will be considered on a space-available basis. We hope to give notification
of acceptances by the end of January 2009. We will run an OBTC 09 blog to
help people interact prior to the conference and publish a proceedings CD.
We invite you to submit proposals to one of several subthemes:
* Sessions that encourage participants to become more reflective of
their own learning experiences, teaching philosophy and/or teaching style
and effectiveness.
* Presentations that connect educational scholarship to practice
* Opportunities to establish dialogs on student learning needs and other
topics of likely interest to participants
* Sessions that address the question, how can we make learning sticky?
Additionally, we welcome submissions that fit a secondary theme and answer,
what experienced teachers can teach new faculty and what new faculty can
teach experienced teachers This leads to two more subthemes:
* Classic and other experiential activities presented with an emphasis
on how to use the exercise to enhance learning and how to debrief it
* Resource presentations that provide summaries of the most significant
things to teach about [fill in a topic of your choice]. These are designed
to help seasoned teachers update course content beyond their own special
areas of interest.
And of course, we welcome:
* Other sessions that vary from the above themes.
It is the custom of OBTC for presenters to attend the whole conference, to
allow for informal discussions of the learning sparked in the session.
