[RUME] Second Call for posters (IISSAM 2012) and corrected web address

[Dewar, Jacqueline M.]

Apologies for cross-postings...

If you know a colleague who would like to receive feedback on an idea for a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project or would like to learn more about the scholarship of teaching and learning, please encourage them to submit a poster and attend an Institute focused on mentoring SoTL projects. See http://www.iissam.org

This year’s theme, The Ecology of Teaching and Learning, has attracted many interesting math- and science-related projects.

Posters can be about any question related to student learning in any course taught by the applicant.

Second Call for Poster Submissions to IISSAM 2012
(with corrected web address for the Institute)

and

Registration Information


IISSAM, the International Institute for SoTL Mentors and Scholars, will be held at Loyola Marymount University, in Los Angeles, CA, June 1-3, 1012, with plenary speakers Mary Huber, Eric Strauss, and Jennifer Meta Robinson. Tony Ciccone will lead a preconference workshop on May 31, 2012. See http://www.iissam.org

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning projects (already selected by a peer-review process) will be presented as works-in-progress. Institute attendees will participate in the process of mentoring those projects using the model developed by the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

All registered participants (not already selected as scholars) may submit a poster describing an incipient idea for a SoTL project, i.e., a project idea that has not yet been researched in detail or implemented. During the poster session, all attendees will have the opportunity to canvass all submitted posters. The posters will continue to be available during the remainder of the Institute. There will be an opportunity to provide comments and suggestions for each poster.

Formatting instructions for the poster are available at http://www.lmu.edu/resources/iissam/submissions/Poster_Submissions.htm <http://www.lmu.edu/resources/iissam/submissions/Poster_Submissions.htm>

Posters may be submitted during the registration process or sent by email to iissam at lmu.edu <iissam at lmu.edu>
