CFP: 8th Annual Emerging Learning Design Conference (Montclair State University NJ - May 31-June 1, 2018)

8th Annual Emerging Learning Design Conference - Call for Proposals

Emerging Learning Design is now accepting proposals for the

8th Annual Emerging Learning Design Conference (#ELDc18)

May 31st - June 1st, 2018 at Montclair State University.

The theme for this year’s conference is

From Learner Centered to Learner Experience (LX)

Education has changed more in the last 25 years than the 250 before that. Whereas once the norm was teacher-focused, sage-on-the-stage, a shift is still going on that places the learner at the core of the learning experience.  Driven by the wide adoption of design thinking and user experience processes, LX pushes to make sure the learner voice is integrated more purposefully by sharing the experience development and iteration process with those for whom it is designed.

From an emphasis on scaffolding and creating software with Learner Centered Design to the wide adoption of design thinking and user experience processes with Learning Experience (LX) Design the goal continues to be to create effective and meaningful experiences for the learner.  ELDc18 seeks to bring together diverse voices and innovative approaches to designing with the learner in mind.

The following topics are examples, but are in no way exhaustive or limited:

• How might learners be involved in the design and evaluation of learning experiences?
• What are examples of personalized learning and what can we learn from these experiments?
• How can we use learning analytics to better understand aspects of learning experiences?
• What are some organizational approaches to incorporating user experience research and iteration into the learning design process?

Submission are encouraged that tie to the theme, our mission, or, any of our ELDc18 Keywords

Call for Chapters: Managing Your Libraries’ Organizational Knowledge (ALA Book)

Managing Your Libraries’ Organizational Knowledge
ALA Book Call for Chapters:

We are accepting chapter proposals for an upcoming book published by ALA Editions, Managing Your Libraries’ Organizational Knowledge. We welcome proposals from librarians, faculty, and administrators working at academic and public libraries in the United States and Canada.

Theme of the Book
For this book, knowledge management (KM) refers to intentional implementation of a plan where unique human knowledge from employees is captured, leveraged, and preserved to provide long-term operational benefits to an organization. KM theory and practice is an expanding area of interest in many academic and large public libraries. Although librarians and information professionals are well versed at providing resources to their external users, the management of knowledge created within their organizations can be a challenge. Identifying, preserving, and disseminating internal intellectual and experiential knowledge is important for library and information organization management because it saves time, money, and duplicated effort. This book provides 1) an introduction of basic KM theory as it applies to information organizations, including definitions and history of the field; 2) a literature review of key articles, books, and other resources in KM and; 3) targeted, real life case studies of KM applications in academic and public libraries.

Proposals for chapter-length case studies are welcomed on any KM projects from academic and public libraries in the United States and Canada. We especially welcome proposals from large institutions with demonstrated organizational challenges of managing internal information and knowledge that have implemented thought-provoking, innovating, and successful solutions.

Details
Proposals should include the names of all intended authors and institutional affiliations, identification of primary contact with e-mail address, proposed title of chapter, and an abstract of no more than 500 words. Proposals should be submitted to both book editors, Jennifer Bartlett and Spencer Acadia, by e-mail on or before October 15, 2017.

Authors of accepted proposals will be asked to write a chapter within the range of 12-15 pages, double-spaced, including all text, references, tables, images, and photographs. Each chapter must address the following points:

• Describe your library and its larger institutional setting. 
• Describe your organization’s knowledge management need. What is the purpose and focus of your KM project? How have you integrated theoretical or methodological concepts to better inform your project? 
• What resources were required for the project, including human resources, financial resources, and technological resources? How and why were they sufficient or not? 
• In your view, was the project successful, and why or why not? What have been its challenges and how were those overcome? 
• What are the implications of the project to other academic, public, or other libraries? What is the applicability of the project outside of your institution? 

Timeline

• October 15, 2017: Chapter proposals due to editors 
• November 3, 2017: Authors notified of acceptance 
• February 2, 2018: Chapter drafts due to editors 
• March 2, 2018: Editors’ comments provided to authors 
• April 13, 2018: Revised drafts due to editors 

We look forward to reading your submissions. If you have questions, please contact us.
