Opportunities for
Going Public: 2003-2004
Over the next year there are a number of opportunities for VKP Participants
to be public with their work beyond the electronic posters. Listed below are a
number of opportunities that we already have on the table. We want to work with
VKP participants to develop these ideas (where they are ours to develop) and to
match up participants with external opportunities (where they have made themselves
available to the Project).
Add to the list!
Know of journals or conference opportunities particularly appropriate to VKP work?
Let us know and we'll include it here on the VKP site and announce it in the newsletter.
Send your idea to vkp@georgetown.edu.
Browse these categories of going public opportunities:
Opportunities for going public through VKP
Opportunities for going public from outside
the Project
Opportunities through VKP:
Digital Posters, Digital Essays: We would like to work with
a few people who are interested in developing their posters into a deeper, more
substantive digital treatment of their project. We would also like to work with
groups across project to develop electronic presentations of collaborative inquiry
in the form of collaborative posters and portfolios on different themes.
VKP Volume I: Findings of the Project: We want to start putting
together the first volume of work and findings from VKP. We anticipate that it
would include the work of many VKP participants, as well as some invited outside
voices by way of feedback, dialogues, and commentary. We hope to start giving
the volume shape at the Summer Institute.
American Studies Crossroads Project website: We are interested
in developing a scholarship of teaching and learning in American Studies section
of the Crossroads website, building on the work of VKP participants with ties
to American Studies.
Opportunities from Outside the Project:
Inventio: Inventio is an online journal on teaching and learning,
particularly open to articles on the scholarship of teaching and learning. Their
fall issues are open; the spring issues are themed. For 2004, the theme is “E-portfolios”;
for 2005, the theme is “Technology Across the Curriculum.” Inventio
is published out of George Mason University. For more information write Mills
Kelly.
2005 Lilly-West Conference: You are invited to submit a proposal
and participate in the 2005 Lilly-West Conference, to be held March 18th & 19th
at Cal Poly, Pomona, California. The Lilly Conferences are forums
for the presentation of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for and by instructors,
both novice and veteran, from all disciplines and types of academic institutions.
The 2005 Lilly Conferences will focus on the best methods to
help our diverse students learn and the best strategies for us, the professors,
to learn from our own teaching. Full information is available at http://www.iats.com.
Invited essays: Increasingly, we are getting invitations to
contribute articles on VKP and related issues. These are opportunities to collaborate
with one or more people in the project on particular themes. For example: a book
volume on “Critical Perspectives on Educational Technology.” Or a
general invitation to have something related to VKP for the journal Rethinking
History.
