CAPITALIZING ON YOUR COMPUTER INVESTMENT
Maximizing Instructional Talents, Tools and Techniques
February 17-19, 1999
Renaissance Hotel, Washington, D.C.
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS (Only a 150 word proposal is required)
Does your campus seem to be investing ever increasing amounts of money
in computing equipment, software and technical support in the name of
"increased productivity"? Does it seem that the investment in
technology infrastructure (equipment, software and support personnel) on
your campus is a "black hole" that pulls in dollars and puts out little?
Are the faculty on your campus wondering: "How can I use that new jack
in the wall?", "Who is supposed to train me to use PowerPoint, my web
browser, or this *!% data projector?" , or "How soon before I can have
new stuff in my classroom?"
If so, you have lots of company...and the participants of "Capitalizing
on Your Computer Investment" would like to hear about your experiences
addressing these issues.
Capitalizing on Your Computer Investment brings together faculty,
academic computing department staff, technical support (hardware and
software) staff, instructional designers, and administrators (department
chairs, deans, associate provosts) to examine the best use of
investments in computer equipment and software to: enhance
teaching/pedagogy (Talent track), improve instructional design
(Techniques track), and facilitate course development/delivery (Tools
track).
Educators/trainers in corporate, association, technical/community
college or university settings are invited to present at the
conference. We also invite hardware/software vendors to showcase
products that facilitate instructional use of computer-based
technologies. The conference web site (see below) gives examples of
presentations sought.
We would be honored for YOU to share your experience and/or products.
You will be joining keynote speakers Michael G. Dolence and Brandon
Hall.
Please complete the attached proposal form (or the online form...see
below) and send it to us by September 14, 1998. Only a 150 word
proposal is required to be considered as a presenter. Use a narrative
style and define any acronyms you use. The title of your presentation
should briefly identify its scope and content. Proposals will be
reviewed by a screening committee for pertinence to the conference
theme. You will be notified of selection by September 30, 1998.
Presenters receive $75.00 off the $350.00 early conference registration
fee. Exhibit fees start at $395.00 for standard booth space.
Conference coordinators Deanna Applehans and Christopher Smith will
answer your proposal submission and/or registration questions. Contact
them via email (capitalizing@major.uwstout.edu), fax (715-232-3385) or
