GoingToMeet

This is the twentieth year of a highly successful international conference stressing the applications of learning and motivation research and theory and technology to higher education learning. Emphasis is on research and practice in teaching and learning—with focus on uses of innovative learning strategies and the Internet in face-to-face, blended and online course development and teaching. This year’s conference will again include a focus on strategies to improve online learner support services. The conference is expected to provide 250 or more faculty presentations to 1,000 attendees in all academic fields from throughout the world.

The conference includes both 25 and 45 minute presentations as well as poster sessions. Awards will continue to be presented to faculty nominated by their institutions for highly innovative contributions to teaching, learning, and technology, and the conference will again sponsor the Ernest L. Boyer International Award for Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Technology. The Boyer Award recipient will be selected by an international faculty panel and will receive a $5,000 cash award funded by McGraw-Hill Learning Solutions. The conference will also again publish “Selected Papers from the International Conference,” containing 12 to 20 of the most outstanding papers submitted to the conference, as judged by a faculty committee. The conference will honor the author of the “Best Conference Paper” among those contained in this publication, which is covered by APA’s PsycINFO.
