Call for Proposals
Independent Study: Traditions & Transformations
9th Annual AACIS Conference
American Association for Collegiate Independent Study
November 8-10, 2001
Athens, Ohio
We invite you to submit a proposal for presentation at the ninth annual
American Association for Collegiate Independent Study (AACIS) conference,
to be held November 8-10, 2001 in Athens, Ohio. The conference is sponsored
by Ohio University. Presenters are expected to pay fees and are encouraged
to attend the entire conference.
AACIS is a young, vibrant organization of independent study professionals.
Our membership has grown to nearly 400 in eight years. Our annual
conference provides opportunities for participants to share insights and
experiences with their peers - administrators, advisers, curriculum
developers, faculty, student services personnel, support staff, and others.
Each year we discuss the classic continuing concerns of independent study
and investigate new developments in the field. We encourage proposals on
topics related to the areas of research and assessment, operations and
student services, curriculum development, editing, marketing, and
administration. Presentations may be made by individuals or groups, and may
use a variety of formats (lecture, panel discussion, group interaction).
Special consideration is given to proposals which
incorporate the conference theme.
For information about our previous conferences, please see the AACIS web
site at http://www.aacis.org/conferences/default.htm.
To propose a presentation:
1- Provide a short working title.
2- List presenters and briefly describe their backgrounds, particularly as
they relate to experience with the topic.
3- Summarize presentation (one or two paragraphs) describing the content
and the objectives you hope to achieve. This summary will be used in the
final program to describe your presentation.
4- Describe the format, length (30 or 60 minutes), and your equipment
needs. Please specify any needed audiovisual or computer equipment.
5- Submit your proposal as early as possible to increase its chances of
being accepted. More than one proposal may be submitted but multiple
presentations will only be considered if there is space on the conference
program. We look forward to hearing from you.
Send your proposal by May 1 to:
