AACIS 2007 - Independent Study at the Junction
 
Call for Proposals
 
We invite you to submit a proposal for presentation at the 15th Annual American Association for Collegiate Independent Study (AACIS) conference to be held November 1-3, 2007 in Ogden, Utah. The conference will be hosted by Weber State University. Presenters will pay reduced conference fees and are encouraged to attend the entire conference.

This annual conference provides opportunities for independent study and distance learning professionals to share insights and experiences with their peers - fellow administrators, curriculum developers, faculty members, student services personnel, support staff, and others.

Each year, the AACIS organization seeks to discuss the concerns and new developments in the field of independent and distance learning. We encourage proposals on topics related to the areas of research and assessment, operations and student services, curriculum development, course design and editing, marketing, and administration. Presentations may be made by individuals or groups, and may use a variety of formats (lecture, panel discussion, group interaction). Each session is approximately 45-50 minutes long.

To propose a presentation for the AACIS 2007 conference:

  1. Provide a short working title.
  2. Provide a brief statement of the presenter's background as it relates to the topic, as well as the presenter's phone number, mailing address, and e-mail. If there are multiple presenters, please provide the requested information for each presenter.
  3. Summarize presentation (one or two paragraphs) describing the content and objectives you hope to achieve. This summary will be used in the final program to describe your presentation.
  4. Describe the format and your equipment needs. Please notify us of any needed audiovisual or computer equipment.
  5. Submit your proposal as early as possible to increase its chances of being accepted. More than one proposal may be submitted.
  6. Submission deadline: May 31, 2007
