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.
