Technology in Education Symposium
The Technology in Education Symposium (TIES) is an exciting one-day, university-wide event scheduled for March 8th, 2013, which will showcase and explore the uses of technology in teaching graduate, undergraduate, and continuing studies students across all disciplines at Western and its affiliates.
This symposium will focus on quality of education as it relates to instructional technology and e-learning. While the sessions offered will address the opportunities and challenges of using instructional technology, the focus is less upon tools than upon innovative teaching principles and practices.
Participants will hear and see how instructors and other employ technology to engage students and enrich learning, and to connect with others from across the campus who are exploring the potential of instructional technology and online education.
We are seeking proposals for panels, roundtables, papers, and posters on a wide range of possible subjects. Panels should be designed for 3 or 4 papers. Paper presentations should be 15-20 minutes each.
Please submit a proposal to ties.proposals@uwo.ca on or before Friday January 25th, 2013 (vetting will be completed by February 1st, 2013).
Proposals must include the following information:
- Name of the presenter(s);
- Email address(es) of presenter(s);
- Your university (Western, King's, Hurong, Brescia, etc.);
