Full Papers (reviewed)

Full papers must be between 2500 and 5000 words, including references. Papers must be submitted in MS-Word format, and formatted using the style sheet provided on the website. The 500 word submitted abstract will appear on the colloquium website and with the detailed program. Authors are to submit the abstract only by August 12.

Full papers should be of significance to a wide audience. Where disciplinary studies are presented implications for a broader audience should be included. Full papers may contain major reviews, reports on research studies, detailed plans and justifications for research studies, evaluations, developments, commentary, reflections, or report on ALTC projects.

Authors of full papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presenting their paper and taking questions at the colloquium.

Concise Papers (unreviewed)

Concise papers, where submitted, are limited to 2500 words maximum, including references. Authors are to submit the abstract only by 12 August, and if desired develop the full text for submission by 14-15 September at the colloquium. If submitted, concise papers will be considered for inclusion in the unreviewed section of the colloquium proceedings, otherwise the abstract only will be published. Full text must be formatted using the style sheet provided on the website. The submitted abstract will appear on the colloquium website and in the detailed program.

Concise papers are intended to provide an avenue for development of a SoTL publication. They may report on research proposals, pilot projects, case studies, ALTC projects in progress, commentary, reflections, or literature reviews on relevant SoTL topics. Concise papers should be of significance to either a broad or disciplinary audience.

Authors of concise papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presenting their paper and taking questions at the colloquium.

Workshops and Roundtables

Workshops and roundtables are intended to provide an opportunity for staff development activities in SoTL.
