Call for Papers and Panels

Annual Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Foundation

The Instructional Resources Interest Group invites the submission of competitive papers and panels for the 2016 CSCA convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Any topic related to instructional resources, including all forms of technology, assessment, and instructional ideas is welcomed. We encourage submissions that focus on the convention theme: FOUNDATION. For panel submissions, preference will be given to those with panelists representing multiple institutions rather than a single institution. Our interest group strongly encourages undergraduate and graduate student papers. Additionally, weencourage the submission of panels that are co-sponsored with other CSCA units. Please contact the Instructional Resources Interest Group Chair for help coordinating co-sponsored panels.

Awards: The Instructional Resources Interest Group presents two awards: top competitive paper award and top roundtable award. Each includes a certificate and a $50.00 prize.
