Call for Proposals - eLearning Libraries Symposium December, 2021 (online)

[Kelly Dermody]

The eLearning in Libraries Symposium is currently seeking proposals for 10-minute eLearning Showcases and 60-minute Concurrent Sessions/Workshops.  This year’s Symposium will take place online, via Zoom, from Tuesday, December 8 to Wednesday, December 9, 2020.

Libraries have long been centres of innovation and adaptation, and the Covid-19 pandemic  has provided ample opportunity for us to flex our creative muscles.  We want to hear about (and celebrate!) all the ways that eLearning is helping libraries remain vibrant sources of knowledge in the midst of unprecedented global challenges and the eventual return to the classroom.   

10-Minute eLearning Showcase

These rapid fire presentations showcase specific eLearning projects, initiatives, highlights, and fail stories. We encourage you to submit proposals that highlight some of the great work you have undertaken in the online learning space during the past year and your plans for Fall 2021.

60-Minute Sessions and/or Interactive Workshops

These sessions typically focus on a specific aspect of eLearning and can take the form of an interactive workshop, panel, lecture, etc. We encourage you to submit proposals that highlight how you have used eLearning and other techniques to meet the challenges presented by the Covid-19 campus closures and your future plans for the eventual return to campus. Topics could include:

• Hands-on software demonstrations (i.e. H5P, Powtoons, Videoscribe, Voice over Powerpoint)

• Best practices in synchronous or asynchronous online instruction

• Open educational resource creation, adoption by faculty, training programs & more

• eLearning instructional design techniques

• Expert perspectives on hot topics in eLearning (accessibility, virtual / augmented reality, etc.)

• And anything else you can dream up!

Submit your proposals here: https://forms.gle/UtnfZZ7viwJ5h1267 

Proposals close on Friday, October 15, 2021

Successful proposals will be notified by Friday, October 22, 2021

Sincerely, the eLearning in Libraries Collective.

Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
