Sharing a call for papers from the International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL) for its 2014 conference. The theme, the impact of social and mobile media on higher education, is directly relevant to anyone teaching translation with technology.
Call for papers and presentation proposals on teaching and administration topics in higher education
The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL) invites you to submit a proposal for a presentation at its 2014 International HETL Conference, to be held in Anchorage in partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage, 8–10 June 2014. Proposals are solicited on all topics related to higher education, including new technologies and globalisation-related issues. Both scholarly and practice reports are invited. Proposals on the conference theme, Impacts of Social and Mobile Media on Higher Education, are especially welcome.
As at our January 2013 conference at the University of Central Florida, participants will come from the full range of academic disciplines across the arts, sciences and professions, as well as from administrative and staff functions that deliver and support new technologies and approaches to learning. As with every HETL conference, we welcome participation from around the world. Please submit your proposal before the deadline of 26 July 2013, or simply join us as an attendee by registering. No proposal is required if you are attending but not presenting.
To submit a proposal, go to the submission form. See the conference page for more details.
It's more affordable than you may think. The Anchorage area has many attractions, including glaciers, majestic mountains and a wide diversity of wildlife. The average June temperature is 16°C (62°F) with sunny days. Airfare to Anchorage is more reasonable than we anticipated: a check on Kayak.com suggests a round trip from New York around the time of the conference might cost about $350, from London $1,000, and from Tokyo $1,100. We anticipate that hundreds of rooms at the University of Alaska will be available for well under $100, along with rooms at partner hotels in Anchorage.
We look forward to seeing you in Anchorage!
