CALL FOR PROPOSALS

TCC 2010 invites faculty, support staff, librarians, counselors, student
affairs professionals, students, administrators, and educational 
consultants to submit proposals for papers and general sessions.

THEME

Since the first TCC Online Conference, the Internet has evolved into a
global workspace for communication, collaboration, and community. People,
technologies, services, and perspectives have converged on a single 
platform.

The Internet has changed the teaching profession. How do faculty
communicate, collaborate, innovate to produce useful student learning 
outcomes that differs from the past?

College students place high priority on using mobile smart phones and
engaging online social communities daily. What can we learn from our 
students?

How do we build on our students' expertise in digital media, personal
publishing, and social networking?

Web 2.0 will continue to evolve. What effective practices have emerged in
online learning? How do we assess student learning? How will smart mobile
devices be adapted for learning? What is the institutional affect of 
virtual worlds such as Second Life?

TOPICS

TCC invites papers and general sessions on the continuing progress of
distance learning, virtual communities, collaborative learning, social
networking, and best choices for instructional technologies such as:

- Retrospectives and personal experiences with the evolution of learning
  technologies
- Perspectives and applications of Web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning
- Technology applications that facilitate communication, collaboration,
  sharing, and social networking
- Building and sustaining learning communities
- Instructional applications in virtual worlds (Second Life, etc.)
- Distance learning including mobile learning
- Ubiquitous and lifelong learning
- Open content and open source
- E-portfolios and other assessment tools
- Student orientation and preparation
- Student success and assessment strategies in online learning
- Student services online (tutoring, advising, mentoring, career planning,
  technology support, help desk, etc.)
- Online learning resources (library, learning centers, etc.)
- Online, hybrid, blended or other modes of technology enhanced learning
- Professional development for faculty and staff
- Accessibility for seniors and persons with disabilities
- Gender equity, digital divide, intercultural understanding, and open
  access
