I was fortunate enough to attend the 2011 AECT conference in Jacksonville, FL at the beginning of November. I had the opportunity to meet all of the program professors from the ITDE program at Nova Southeastern University. There were many interesting presentations given by students and researchers in the field. Several panel discussions were held with the leaders in the fields of IT and DE such as Richard Clark, Gary, Anglin, Gary Morrison, Marcy Driscoll, Barbara Lockee, and Michael Spector, just to name a few.
On Wednesday morning, I attended a workshop on preparing for and applying to jobs in the field of instructional design. This was a very informative session and lead to the extensive work I have put into designing this personal website as well as looking into other opportunities to build my experience.
My main focus while attending was to go to hear about current research in the area of DE and interaction. There were several sessions and I began to contemplate a topic for research consideration to begin my concept paper. Dr. Lewis recommended submitting a proposal to present at next year's conference. I am nervous about doing that but think it would be a worthwhile experience.
So, after I complete my concept paper I will consider submitting a proposal.
The deadline for submitting a proposal for the 2012 conference held in Louisville, KY is March 2, 2012. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, click here.
