2009 Call for Proposals
Deadline for AECT 2009 submissions is February 16th
This year's theme is Integrative Approaches: Meeting Challenges. To meet the challenges posed by new developments in educational technology and evolving scholarship on research and practice, we need serious and sustained efforts to (a) incorporate findings from multiple disciplines; (b) involve stakeholders in transforming education and training; (c) integrate technologies into learning, instruction, and performance; (d) interweave research, practice, and theory development; and (e) demonstrate what works when and why. There are six sub-themes:

- Transforming Learning and Instruction
- Linking Design and Development with Learning and Performance
- Establishing the Benefits of Integrative and Interdisciplinary Approaches
- Exploring New Media in Learning, Instruction and Performance
- Assessing and Evaluating Educational Technology Applications
- Integrating Social Networking and Distributed Media
Keynote Speakers:We have three distinguished keynote speakers: Peter Goodyear (University of Sydney), Andrei Podolskij (Moscow State University), and Daphne Rainey (National Science Foundation) who will address these themes from different perspectives. Several presidential sessions will also address the conference themes, including a presentation by Gráinne Conole of the Open University on new technologies to support effective e-learning and an interdisciplinary panel addressing technology integration in rural schools.
