Call for proposals
THE TWELFTH COMPUTERS AND WRITING CONFERENCE
MAY 30-JUNE 2, 1996
UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY
LOGAN, UTAH 84322-3200
The Twelfth Computers and Writing Conference: Technology & Change
(to be held May 30- June 2, 1996, at Utah State University in Logan, Utah)
invites proposals that pertain in some way to the uses of computers at any
level of writing education.
Theme: Technology and Change
The rapid acceleration of change in the area of computers and writing causes
some consternation--but also considerable exhilaration--among educators at all
levels. The conference will highlight our attempts to cope and to stay current
with the potential for technology in the writing field. This unique conference
brings together educators from all levels and types of educational institutions
who have a common interest in the uses of computer technology for writing
instruction.
Invitation: Send in your Proposals
We invite proposals that pertain in some way to the uses of computers at any
level of writing education: K-12 to all types of post-secondary educational
institutions. We especially welcome proposals for hands-on sessions,
demonstrations, or any other interactive format. Concurrent sessions will
accommodate individual 20-minute "talks," panels with three to four
speakers, or one-and-a-half hour interactive presentations or
demonstrations. Ongoing "poster" sessions for demonstrations throughout
the conference are also possible. Furthermore, we are looking for half-day
workshop proposals, to be offered both pre- and post-conference. Standard
networked PC and MAC equipment will be provided.
Suggested Topics: classroom uses, collaboration, distance education, networks,
hypertext & hypermedia, virtual classrooms, impacts of the internet. Proposals
must be postmarked or dated October 1, 1995. Notification of acceptance will
be by January 1, 1996. Mail three copies of a two-page (double-spaced)
abstract for a paper, panel, poster session, demonstration, or workshop
(Or e-mail one copy to the address below.) Please include the name, affiliation,
address, e-mail, and phone number of all presenters.
Please note: abstracts become the property of CWC96 and may be
published in other venues, including a web site.
