WISE Pedagogy will offer its sixth annual pre-conference workshop at the January 2010 conference for the Association for Library & Information Science Education (ALISE) in Boston. This year's theme is Keys to Successful Online Collaboration.
This workshop will be open to all interested conference attendees, especially doctoral students and new online instructors. All attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the pedagogy of online collaboration in the context of library and information science education.
Keys to Successful Online Collaboration will be highly participatory and feature rotating stations of presentations and breakout discussion groups that address pedagogical issues in the use of collaborative learning activities in online courses:
- Demonstration of specific collaborative technological tools (i.e., wikis, blogs, social media networks, synchronous communication software, file sharing tools, etc.)
- Presentation of effective pedagogical practices for facilitating online collaborative activities
- Breakout discussion on implementation of collaborative learning goals
Call for Presenters:
Interested faculty are invited to lead discussions and present best practices for the topics listed above, particularly based on their experience with particular LIS courses and content areas.
To be considered, please submit a one-page proposal outlining your presentation to amckinn@illinois.edu by November 16, 2009. Additionally, if you plan to incorporate computer-based software into your presentation / demonstration, please be prepared to bring your own laptop or netbook.
