Call for Proposals

USDLA: The International Forum for Women in eLearning

Boston, MA (USA), June 2014 - The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) has opened the call for proposals for the sixth International Forum for Women in eLearning conference to be held 03-05 December 2014 at the Hotel Contessa in San Antonio, TX.

The 2014 conference theme developed by the program committee is "IFWE Walk in Her Shoes".    

To complement the theme, the committee has selected six topic areas in shoe-themed tracks for which presentations are being solicited. The topic areas are

  • In her shoes (diversity and gender issues)
  • On the technology tightrope (effective use of technology/best practices)
  • Into the future (predicting the future of eLearning)
  • Down the path of leadership (effective management and leadership)
  • By her side (the importance of mentoring)
  • IFWE Walk and take care of ourselves (women's health, work/life balance)

Presentations are encouraged across a broad perspective of eLearning, as the conference participants typically represent all constituencies and types of eLearning.  The primary constituencies include higher education, K-12 education, military, workforce, and corporate training, but all are welcome. Please be specific in your description and submission about the topic or topic areas your presentation will primarily target. Deadline is 15 June 2014.
