UBC Learning Conference – Call for Proposals

This year UBC’s e-Portfolio Conference has been rolled into the larger UBC Learning Conference. This is a wonderful development in a couple of ways:

1. UBC’s funded campus-wide e-portfolio pilot wraps up at the end of April and the conference, planned for May 11 & 12, is the perfect venue for our community and projects to report out on their successes, challenges, future plans. This larger conference will provide a wider, more diverse audience for this.
2. The theme of this year’s conference is “At a Crossroads in Teaching: Reflection, Innovation, Technology, Learning,” a perfect fit for discourse on the advantages and disadvantages of a particular approach to teaching and learning (folio thinking & reflection) and it’s associated technologies (e-portfolios, blogs, & social software).

The Call for Proposals is now out, marked with a March 10/06 deadline. So, bring your innovative ideas on teaching and learning, using technology in the classroom, and student engagement forward and submit something!
