Call for Proposals
SOLSTICE is committed to TEL practices that are informed by and generative of research. To that end, proposals for papers, workshops, presentations and posters are invited which consider:
- knowledge that has been applied and integrated to inform practices
- how we know and predict that practices may work through using evidence?
- what has been learned that may positively influence the student experience in the future?
- insights gained into existing challenges and into new research agendas that are unfolding
All proposals will be subject to rigorous peer review by a panel of senior academics and professors from UK and international universities.
Proposals will be assessed in relation to:
- relevance of study or enquiry to the focus of the conference and to the wider TEL and research community
- clarity and focus of enquiry and outcomes
- evidence of impact
- appropriate use of literature rigour
- significance of study/enquiry to educational practice, research, policy or theory
- potential to generate debate.
