ELI Annual Meeting 2017: Transforming the Academy: Building Communities of Practice

Posted on August 23, 2016 | Leave a comment

February 13–15, 2017

Houston, Texas

The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) is a community of higher education institutions and organizations committed to advancing learning through information technology innovation. The ELI Annual Meeting provides an opportunity for those interested in learning, learning principles and practices, and learning technologies to explore, network, and share. Find more information about the ELI mission and philosophy here.

Transforming the Academy: Building Communities of Practice

Support of the teaching and learning mission is a collaborative enterprise involving multiple campus organizations. Today our success depends on working with a cohort of colleagues to discover the best instructional and learning practices and to leverage the technology needed to enable them. These new practices also have interinstitutional dimensions, as creative partnerships and consortia play an increasingly important role in defining our educational landscape. Join your colleagues to engage in discussions around the key teaching and learning issues and contribute the discoveries you are making at your campus. Together we’ll explore these and other questions:

  • What new kinds of leadership are required for this new teaching and learning landscape?
  • How do we re-architect our learning environments to meet the needs of students and educators?
  • How can we best harness our learning data to inform our practice?
  • What emerging technologies are best suited to enable progress toward increased student success?
  • How can we best engage our faculty and instructors, enabling them to innovate and discover more successful practices?

2017 Annual Meeting Tracks

The 2016 ELI Key Issues, as voted on by over 900 community members, served as the basis for the thematic 2017 Annual Meeting tracks. We have blended the 20 key issues to form the set of thematic tracks listed below. Since they represent the areas of keenest interest across the teaching and learning community, proposals that address one or more of these tracks will receive highest priority:

  • Current and future learning environments and spaces
  • Analytics: capturing and using learning data
  • Leading academic transformation
  • What works: evidence of impact and learning science
  • Faculty development and engagement
  • Accessibility and universal design for learning
  • Emerging learning technology and practices
  • Online, blended, and hybrid learning models
  • Other

Learning Objectives and Participant Engagement Strategies

The ELI proposal reviewers will closely examine and rate each proposed session’s learning objectives, which should clearly describe what participants will know or be able to do as a result of participating in the session. A successful proposal must also include the specific and creative ways in which the presenter(s) will engage with participants through active learning strategies. The ELI encourages innovative and participatory session design, the creative use of technology, and active engagement by all participants.

Session Types

All ELI annual meeting sessions will be conducted face-to-face in the meeting venue. Please take a moment to view this 4-minute video on how to write an effective proposal.

Selection Criteria

All submitted proposals are reviewed and evaluated by the ELI Annual Meeting Program Committee and invited readers against the following criteria:

  • Relevance of the ideas, innovations, and methods to other institutions
  • Clarity and appropriateness of the learning objectives for the session
  • Effectiveness and appropriateness of proposed active learning and audience engagement strategies
  • Faculty members, full-time instructors, or students as co-presenters
  • Quality, clarity, and economy of the written proposal
  • Evidence of supporting research or assessment
  • Team involvement, from one or more institutions

Corporate Participation

Researchers with corporate affiliation are welcome to submit proposals, either on their own or in collaboration with campus partners. These proposals must demonstrate clearly that the presentation will report on objective, product-independent research. The presentation’s subject must be of wide and general interest to the teaching and learning community, independent of any local vendor relationships and marketing interests. The proposal must make it clear that the session demonstrates thought leadership, addressing key challenges and themes universal to innovation in teaching and learning, without reference to specific products or services.

Annual Meeting Fees: Students and Presenters

ELI will provide complimentary registration for up to two full-time undergraduate or graduate student presenters per session. ELI strives to draw the best possible presentations for the annual meeting, regardless of source. To support this goal, presenters selected from non–ELI member institutions register at the member rate for the annual meeting.

Monstrous Women in Comics

Posted on August 22, 2016 | Leave a comment

http://monstrouswomen.blogspot.de/p/call-for-papers.html

Keynote: Dr. Carol Tilley, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Library
and Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The relationship between women and the comics industry is contested perhaps
now more than ever before. Fresh conflicts in mainstream presses reveal
lingering aversions to women creators, and fan-reactions to reboots
demonstrate similar dis-ease with “non-canonical” re-imaginings of female
characters. Far from being novel, these tensions are rooted in the very
history of western comics. From the Golden Age, women were erased or
marginalized in comics through, for instance, the use of “gender-neutral”
monikers. Female characters were aesthetically constructed to meet and
satisfy the male gaze and overwhelmingly, their narratives were penned by
male authors. Women readers of comics were historically “pandered to” with
romance comics but were otherwise ignored as a target audience. Even within
the medium of graphic novels, where women’s work has arguably been more
visible, women creators are being erased by industry-standard events like
the Angoulême Festival. Here, as in other areas of popular culture, women
are treated in very Aristotelian ways—at best, they are deemed to be
monstrous derivatives of men, and at worst, they are simply monsters for
daring to enter what has been overwhelmingly characterized as man’s domain.
>From a feminist perspective, there is ample room for critique of the ways
in which women in comics are made into monsters, but now we want to ask if
that is all there is? Must a theoretical investigation of monstrous women
in comics be limited to surveys of marginalization and erasure?

Building on the work of postmodern scholars like Donna Haraway, and
following from recent iterations of Monster Studies, we seek to critically
engage with, and re-evaluate, monstrous women in comics. For Haraway, the
figure of the monster is one who simultaneously illuminates and threatens
boundaries; the monster is a creature who resides in borderlands and
embodies transgression; she is the imbrication of text, myth, body, nature
and the political—she is neither “self” nor “other.” To be deemed monstrous
is to be situated in the margins, to be placed outside, and yet the monster
is one who always threatens those margins, who promises to leak into and
over. Constructively engaging with the monstrous can ultimately lead us
into an “imagined elsewhere,” the monster can be full of promises.
Therefore, we are seeking interdisciplinary examinations of monstrous women
in comics not only in order to critically question and contest normative
boundaries, but also to begin to imagine how the relationship between women
and comics might be otherwise.

We invite all interested participants to join us in thinking about
monstrous women in comics across genres: papers may engage with historical
studies of women in comics, mainstream comics, graphic novels, indie
comics, religious comics, or web comics. Paper proposals, in the form of
250-word abstracts, may also address—but are not limited to—any of the
following topics:

·      The monstrosity of (early) women creators

·      Romance comics and “girl comics” as monstrous

·      Female characters as monstrous derivatives of male superheroes

·      Women characters/creators/readers as monstrous because of their
sexuality, corporeality, race, religion, or (dis)ability

·      Monstrous female characters as manifestations of patriarchal
desires/anxieties/fears

·      Monsters who are female

·      Female characters who transgress human/inhuman boundaries

·      Women readers/fans as monsters

·      Women fan/creator collectives as transgressive & monstrous

·      Maternity and monstrosity

·      Indie & web comics as monstrous

·      Monstrous feminism & comics

In order to further emphasize the fruitfulness of transgressing boundaries
and engaging with the monstrous, this conference also seeks to leak over
the boundaries of academia by inviting women comics creators who would like
to submit their work for a temporary gallery exhibition and/or who would be
interested in tabling the event. All interested creators/vendors should
email a short bio and any relevant links to portfolios or previous works.

Accepted participants will be invited to present their 20-minute papers, or
to exhibit their work, at a two-and-a-half-day interdisciplinary conference
at the University of North Texas in Denton. To submit a paper proposal, or
to express interest in exhibiting/tabling, please send an email to
monstrouswomen@gmail.com with the following information:

·      Name, institutional affiliation, email address

·      250-word abstract (if applicable)

·      Short bio & portfolio links (if applicable)

*ABSTRACTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY SEPTEMBER 1, 5PM CST*

Enhancing Lives through Information and Technology – A Combined SIG-SI and SIG-USE Full-Day Workshop

Posted on August 17, 2016 | Leave a comment
Call for Papers and Participation
The Social Informatics of Work and Play (SIG-SI): Morning
Information Behavior in Workplaces (SIG-USE): Afternoon
ASIS&T Annual Meeting, Copenhagen, Denmark
October 15, 2016
Organizers
Katriina Byström, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Katriina.Bystrom@hioa.no
Pnina Fichman, Indiana University, Bloomington, fichman@indiana.edu
Luanne Freund, University of British Columbia, Luanne.Freund@ubc.ca
Howard Rosenbaum, Indiana University, Bloomington, hrosenba@indiana.edu
 
Join us at ASIS&T in Copenhagen for a full-day pre-conference workshop to explore the ways in which our uses of information and technologies improve our work and social lives. Two vital and dynamic SIGs are joining forces for a workshop that will provide two interesting and complementary perspectives in the conference theme.
In the morning session, SIG-SI will bring a perspective that focuses on the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) in work and play across all areas of ASIS&T. In the afternoon session, SIG-USE will focus on information related activities from different research perspectives and explores the significance of information seeking and use on our lives.
Submissions may include empirical, critical, conceptual and theoretical papers and posters, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations. The combined workshop will allow networking between members of both SIGs during the day.
MORNING: THE SOCIAL INFORMATICS OF WORK AND PLAY (SIG SI)
Co-sponsored by the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics
This year’s conference theme is “creating knowledge, enhancing lives through information & technology.” This is a particularly apposite theme for SIG-SI, because the social impacts of ICT and the complex relations among people, technologies, and the contexts of ICT design, implementation, and use have long been core concerns of social informatics. The SIG-SI morning session, our 12th annual gathering at ASIS&T annual meetings, will bring a critical perspective that focuses on the social aspects of ICT that cuts across all areas of ASIS&T This year, we are particularly interested in papers that investigate the social informatics of work and play.
We define “social” broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. We also define “technology” broadly to include traditional technologies  (e.g., paper, books, etc.), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices. Submissions may include papers and posters that explore the ways in which people’s uses of ICT affect their practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives.
We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the Symposium’s theme, but are also soliciting research on other related social informatics topics. We encourage all scholars interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium. Some of the questions we ask include:
• What are the impacts of ICT on people’s practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives?
• What are some of the ways our work and play practices shape the design and development of ICT?
• What are the ways ICT positively and negatively impact organizations, work, play, and social life?
• What kinds of theoretical and methodological frameworks are best suited for studying the mutual shaping of ICT and practices and behaviors while at work and play?
The schedule for the morning session of the symposium will involve the presentations of papers, a panel of distinguished scholars, and the best social informatics paper awards for 2015. We expect an engaging discussion with lively interactions with the audience.

AFTERNOON: INFORMATION BEHAVIOUR IN WORKPLACES (SIG-USE)
This year’s SIG USE symposium focuses on information issues at work. It acknowledges social, individual and technological perspectives on the roles and flows that information takes as part of physical and digital work. The broad approach relates to the conference theme with a focus on information behavior (IB) or on information practices (IP) in connection to workplaces.
Earlier generations were accustomed to stable and localized work; now work activities and contexts have and are radically changing. During their work life, people may experience several career changes, are expected to learn new skills and adapt to new ideas as well as manage the increasingly fluid boundaries between work and leisure. Moreover, much of information and data are internetworked and accessible simultaneously by multiple mobile devices supporting networked communities anyplace, anywhere, anytime. This challenges both the creation and consumption of information used for work – or at work; it also affects how, when and where people work, as well as their productivity, collegiality and innovativeness.
Despite, or perhaps due to, the advances in technology, today’s workplaces remain challenged by how to create, discover, share, value and enhance information and knowledge at and for work; and, how to design and manage the systems that support these functions, which are so critical to organizationally effective and individually rewarding work. The issues are many, from the consequences of new devices that are stretching the ways that an organization works, to the efficacy dynamics (stress, motivation, collaboration, productivity, age, etc.) and to the new skills and expertise required to work in such changing and changeable environments. Information is indispensable in many, if not all, workplace activities; as a resource for getting work done as well as for learning, managing change, developing and maintaining processes and creating professional networks.
Specific issues to be addressed depend on the interest of the participants and the issues they bring into the workshop. Welcome topics include:
• Critical cultural information behavior – how do we infuse our workplaces and practices with diversity and social justice sensibilities?
• Collaborative IB; virtual team
• Digital workplaces, peopleless offices & officeless people – what happens when the physical workplace dissolves?
• Everyday Life Information (in the workplace)
• Frameworks for understanding IB/IP in work settings
• IB/IP and  workplace or information systems design
• Organizational behaviour research – what can we learn from this field of research that is relevant to IB/IP?
• Organizational information genres
• Personal Information Management (in the workplace)
• The blurring of lines between personal and professional in digital information use in the workplace
• The impact of mobile devices on IB/IP in the workplace
• Workplace culture, diversity and inclusion – how these shape and are shaped by information behaviour (IB)/information practices (IP)?
• and any other work-related informational topics
We aim to an interactive workshop to enable the fullest exchange of ideas amongst attendees. For this reason, we encourage participants to submit; even if participation without a paper/poster is an eligible option. The workshop features a keynote by Professor Hazel Hall (preliminarily confirmed), presentation of selected papers, a joint poster session between the SIGs, and roundtable discussions based on short papers and posters by participants.
Documentation: short papers and posters are shared digitally among the participants. Roundtable discussions are documented by a designated person in each group and collated by symposium chairs to a short summary that is made available for the participants afterwards.
