Theme: Innovating
and Inspiring in a Global
World
We
cordially invite you to participate in the 19th Annual
HBCU Faculty Development Network Conference to be held in Orlando, Florida on
October 18-20, 2012. With this year’s conference them: “Innovating and
Inspiring in a Global World,” we invite and challenge our HBCU Faculty
Development Network colleagues to develop new ideas and ways of thinking about
innovation in teaching and at the same time inspire our students to perform to
their optimal level of scholarship. For most of our students, the traditional
approaches of teaching and learning may be outdated. Although the role and
responsibility of the college professor remains the same, the classroom
environment, the students, and the tools needed to engender more impactful
teaching and learning outcomes have drastically changed. Indeed, when this
generation of students comes into the classroom, they seem to expect an
environment that mirrors their world.
Aquatica
Water Park by SeaWorld: This attraction is a unique twist on the
traditional
water
park, and it has something of interest for everyone. Vacationers from the United
States and from
around the world come to splash, slide and take the plunge.
Discovery
Cove, Orlando: This is another great Florida family attraction from the
creators
of SeaWorld as here you can actually swim with the Dolphins. Interactions with
the
dolphins and other animals is carefully supervised and controlled for the
safety of
both sea
creatures and people.
Walt
Disney World: Its family of theme parks include Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center,
MGM
Studios, plus a complex of resorts, nightlife, water parks, and other family
attractions.
This complex gave birth to Orlando as a family vacation center.
Universal
Studios Florida: A real, working film and TV production facility with rides,
shows,
and movie sets.
We look
forward to seeing you in Orlando this October!

Session
Types
The
Network welcomes proposals for a variety of session types, including the
following:
1.
Pre-conference Workshops:*
3-hour interactive workshops
2.
Concurrent Sessions:
75-minute interactive sessions
75-minute roundtable discussions
poster presentations
For all
session types, proposals should describe work that is systematically
designed, implemented, and assessed, and make clear how
participants might apply, extend, or adapt the ideas they learned. Specific
information about the different session types follows.
Pre-conference
Workshops
Pre-conference
workshops emphasize learning-by-doing and provide participants the opportunity
to explore topics in depth through a combination of hands-on activities,
reflection, and discussion. As such, proposals should include a detailed
outline describing the types of learning activities and interaction you are
planning. Additionally, proposals should indicate the maximum number of
participants and any special room set-up you might need. Audio-visual
equipment, including a LCD projector, flipchart, and wireless internet access,
may be requested. Computer laboratories are not available and presenters must
provide their own laptops. The vast majority of pre-conference workshops are
three hours in length. These workshops will take place the morning of Thursday,
October 18th. Pre-conference workshops are advertised in the conference
registration materials. We will notify you of pre-registration numbers before
the conference and request that you be prepared for and accommodate on-site
registrants as well.
Concurrent
Sessions :
75-minute
interactive sessions:
These
sessions combine brief presentations or panel discussions with methods that
engage all participants. We recommend that your sessions be interactive,
collegial sessions—not of lecturing or reading papers to passive audiences.
Session leaders are encouraged to incorporate meaningful activities as
appropriate, selecting from a variety of methods such as presentation,
demonstration, discussion, application, feedback, group and individual work,
and role playing. We encourage you to creativity model exemplary teaching!
Audio-visual equipment, including a LCD projector, flipchart, and wireless
internet access, may be requested.
Roundtable
Discussions:
Roundtable
discussions provide an opportunity for various kinds of interactions in a
smaller group setting such as discussion of a concept, approach, program,
issue, case study, or reading. This format is ideal for getting to know people
who may be facing similar issues to you, for exploring new ideas, and sharing
practices. It is contrary to the spirit of a roundtable discussion for the
facilitator to make a formal presentation. No audio-visual equipment is
available for roundtable discussions and none may be used by presenters in this
format.
Poster
presentations:
The
poster session provides an ideal format for presenting your research, program,
or work-in-progress in a context where you can engage in many one-on-one
discussions with colleagues. Attractive posters using large, readable fonts and
illustrative graphics will attract conference participants and invite
conversation about your work.
Each
poster presenter will have a 4x8 foot poster board, a supply of thumbtacks, and
a small presenter’s table. The poster board can easily accommodate large format
posters or individual 8½”x11” sheets. The presenter’s table is ideal for
displaying materials, handouts, business cards, etc. Note that the poster
session site has no multi-media support, no guaranteed wireless internet
connection, and no power outlets. Personal laptops may be used during the
poster session, but we recommend bringing an additional battery, a backup
laptop, and/ or paper handouts.
Guidelines
for Proposals
Eligibility
All are
welcome to submit a proposal. Once a session is accepted, each presenter and
co-presenter must agree to be a member of the HBCUFDN and be a paid registrant
at the conference.
Number of
proposals per person
Each
attendee may propose up to one pre-conference workshop as either the
primary or co-presenter.
Each
attendee may also propose up to two concurrent sessions but he/she may be
the primary presenter for only one of these sessions. For the second
session, he/she must be listed as a co-presenter. Interactive sessions,
roundtable discussions, posters presentations, and joint HBCUFDN sessions are
included in this two-session limit.
Example
#1: An attendee may submit one concurrent session proposal as the lead
presenter
and a second concurrent session proposal as co-presenter.
Example #2: An attendee may
submit two concurrent session proposals as co-presenter.
Example#3:
An attendee may submit one pre-conference workshop proposal as the
lead
presenter, a concurrent session proposal as lead presenter, and a second
concurrent
session proposal as co-presenter.
Sale of
materials and the solicitation of consulting work
To avoid
the possibility of a conflict of interest, the Network does not permit in any
conference session the sale of materials before or during the conference nor
the solicitation of presentation materials after the conference. Furthermore,
The Network does not allow presenters to solicit consulting work during any
session listed in the program. Session presenters are permitted to use
materials they have created and to refer to consulting work that they do, but
neither materials nor services may be offered for sale during the session.
Pre-conference workshops may receive permission to charge an additional fee for
materials (such as books), to be collected with the conference registration
fee.
Because
the Network recognizes and values the expertise of its members, the conference
schedule includes a Vendor Exhibit, a specific time when materials can be sold
and consultation work can be solicited. Questions about this conference
practice should be addressed to the Executive Director or the Conference Chairs.
