ALAO 2026 Innovative Instruction Showcase
The Instruction and STEM interest groups of the Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) are excited to announce an online instruction showcase this spring. This will consist of a variety of short lighting talks of 7-10 minutes each.
The event will be held on Wednesday, May 13th, from 2pm - 4pm (EST). Stay tuned for the Zoom link.
Our theme is instruction in a very broad sense. We welcome proposals that encompass innovative ideas on a variety of tools and/or topics, including but not limited to:
different subject areas
teaching and/or learning styles
lesson plans or planning
self care for instructors
distance learning
asynchronous learning materials
Proposals that address STEM instruction, distance learning, and/or current issues are particularly encouraged.
This is a community-driven event, so we want to hear from you. What do you have to share about instruction? We’d love to hear from schools of all sizes, any subject area, those who teach in-person or through distance learning. We welcome ideas great or small in this relaxed atmosphere for library instructors to connect and share ideas.
Presenters do not need to be members of ALAO or work in the state of Ohio.
Proposals will be accepted through March 31st. Review will take place through April 10th, and notices sent soon after. Proposals can be submitted through this form (https://bit.ly/ALAOShowcase26).
