Call for Proposals
Submit a proposal
The University of Alabama System invites you to submit a proposal to present at the 2019 UA System Scholars Institute, May 13 - 14, 2019 at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. We seek individual and group proposals for lecture, panel, hands-on, poster, and roundtable sessions related to the institute’s theme, The Future is Now: Building a Culture of Innovation through Technology for a New Generation.
The Scholars Institute fosters a shared community of knowledge among members of the three UA System campuses. It brings faculty, staff, and students together to discuss and discover best practices and new ideas for the roles of technology in our administration, teaching, learning, and research processes.
The planning committee is particularly interested in:
- Best practices and promising practices for using new or existing technologies in teaching, research, or service
- Outcomes or the current state of projects and technologies discussed at previous Scholars Institutes
- Collaborations that cross disciplinary and institutional boundaries
- Research initiatives related to teaching and learning with technology
- Pedagogical and practical approaches to technology use in administration, teaching, research, or service
Please have the following when submitting a proposal:
- Proposal type (lecture, panel, hands-on, poster, roundtable)
