We are inviting proposals for the ALISE webinar series (specifically, for April-September, 2019). We are looking for submissions on the topics relevant to the research and practice of LIS education that will be of interest to ALISE members. Topics that are current and relevant, cover innovative approaches, and have practical application are particularly welcome. We encourage potential presenters to consider how their proposed offering compares to other similar professional development opportunities.
Sample topics that we’d like to see covered are (but not limited to):
- collaborations of different schools on educational programs;
- new models and approaches to offering degree programs;
- new dual degrees;
- using student evaluations effectively;
- diversifying and internationalizing your curriculum;
- rethinking long-standing assignment, testing, and grading practices;
- capstone projects and e-portfolios;
- service-based and experiential learning; partnership-based education;
- internships and co-op education;
- preparing PhD students for the current academic job market (and beyond);
- teaching controversial, tough, or unpopular topics.
