CALL FOR PROPOSALS
AU LEARNING AND TEACHING CONFERENCE 2016
We are inviting proposals for the Aberystwyth University Learning and Teaching Conference, to be
held on 7-8 July 2016.
The conference theme is “Appreciating Excellence – Discover Dream Design Deliver”, with three
main strands:



Enriching learning with research
Moving forward from feedback
Learning beyond assessment
Staff and students are welcome to propose sessions on any topic relating to learning and teaching,
particularly with technology. Even if your suggestion doesn't fit a particular strand, other topics are
welcome, and we especially welcome non-traditional formats and student involvement, so please
describe these fully in the abstract.
Standard presentation slots are 25 minutes, including Q&A. If you would like to propose a panel,
workshop, or other format that requires a longer time, please tell us what you need. Another option
is to request a stand in the Good Practice Fair, similar to a poster session but with some computer
facilities available.
Please complete and send this form to is-alto@aber.ac.uk no later than 22nd April 2016.
We aim to inform you about the outcome of your submission by 13th May 2016. If you have any
questions, please contact the E-learning Group at the email above or phone us at X2472.
