Call For Proposals: CUNY’s 17th Annual IT Conference

Technology and Education: Challenges and Opportunities

CUNY’s 17th Annual IT Conference will explore the complicated balance between the challenges and opportunities of using technology in higher education. There is no doubt that technology connects our lives and underlies many educational offerings. This comes with a set of inherent challenges, both mundane and serious. Educators and universities must grapple with what technologies to use in our classrooms, and how to equip our students with the technological literacy they need both to succeed and make informed choices outside of school.

As always, proposals for presentations are invited from the CUNY community, particularly on how we can address the various challenges and opportunities. 

Proposal Details:

Proposals are invited for panels or presentations as well as roundtables, workshops, or other interactions. Each proposal should include a title, an abstract of no more than 200 words, and the name and affiliation of each participant. Proposals from individuals are welcome, but panel proposals from groups that can present varied perspectives on a subject are particularly welcome. The theme of “Challenges and Opportunities” includes: 

• How does technology provide challenges and opportunities for multiple stakeholders at CUNY and across the varied sectors of teaching, learning, research, and administration?

• How do educators perceive the challenges and opportunities of technology in the classroom? And how do they balance them?

• How can technology create new opportunities for students? What challenges does technology present that may also be viewed as opportunities for teaching and learning?

Deadline:

September 17 at 5:00PM. Acceptances will be announced by the end of that month.
