(apologies to recipients of multiple copies) Call for Proposals Computing Strategies Across the Curriculum The University of Vermont Burlington, Vermont April 5th and 6th, 1991 Last April, The University of Vermont sponsored _The_ _Macintosh_Computer_in_the_University_Curriculum_, a regional conference which explored the role of Macintosh computers in college and university education. This successful event attracted over 300 participants from New England, New York, and Canada. This year's event opens the conference to computing platforms of all types. The emphasis will be on developing strategies to enhance the collegiate environment -- in academics, administration, and support services -- through the use of computers. To this end, the program committee is soliciting proposals for presentations and workshops that fit into a lecture/demonstration format. The presentations will be held in small lecture halls that seat 50 to 60 attendees. Both Macintosh and MS-DOS systems with projection devices will be available to lecturers Smaller computer labs seating 10 to 20 people are available for workshops using MS-DOS, Macintosh, or Silicon Graphics equipment. Proposals requiring other systems (Apple II, Amiga, etc.) are not discouraged, but in these cases on site equipment cannot be guaranteed. Topics of interest include: art, imaging, and design; networking; hypermedia and courseware authoring; libraries and media services; user support and training; integration of academic and administrative systems; and research and teaching in all academic areas. Both introductory sessions and whiz bang applications for the blue-sky dreamers are encouraged. Presentations should be about 45 minutes in length, with longer blocks possible for workshops. Presenters with successful proposals will be expected to provide a 4-5 page paper summarizing their session no later than February 22nd for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Presenters are also invited to include any relevant software and/or examples on floppy disks for distribution with the proceedings. Presenters should contact a member of the program committee listed below by January 25th for consideration. A title for the presentation would also be appreciated at this time. Notification of acceptance and instructions to authors will be provided by February 1st.
