Call for Proposals

Focus on Teaching and Learning
Thursday, August 15, 2013
Information Commons: Lake Shore Campus

The Fall Focus on Teaching and Learning event is scheduled for Thursday, August 15. We are still in the process of finalizing the keynote speaker, but plans are underway to make the day another opportunity to network and share ideas about teaching at LUC.

The keynote presentation and select sessions will be streamed; viewing rooms at both the Water Tower and Maywood campuses have been reserved. More information regarding the locations for these special group areas will be provided on this site closer to the August event.

As in the past, FOTL will feature a series of breakout sessions lead by Loyola faculty. We encourage you to submit a proposal for the event and share your experiences. Your session description need not include an entire outline of the session but a general idea of what attendees can expect. The description will be used in promotional materials and the FOTL program. Consider contacting a few colleagues and presenting as a panel, sharing the workload and also providing multiple perspectives on the topic.

For the August event, we have divided the breakout sessions into three tracks, defined below:

  1. Copyright and Intellectual Properties
  2. Connecting Teaching with Research
  3. Teaching Trends

Click PROPOSAL SUBMISSION FORM  to access the form. Proposals are due by Friday, May 24; those proposals accepted for presentation will be acknowledged by Wednesday, May 29. If you have any questions regarding FOTL or the proposals process, please contact fotl@luc.edu.

Focus on Teaching and Learning is sponsored by: Academic Technology Services, Center for Experiential Learning, Faculty Administration, Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy, Office of Research Services, and University Libraries.
