The 2024 Colorado Learning and Teaching with Technology (COLTT) Conference is looking for educators to submit a proposal for this year’s conference, “Classic COLTT: Forward, into the Past” – a retro-futuristic exploration that bridges timeless teaching and learning principles, evolving cornerstone technologies, and emerging tools that continue to shape (and reshape) the educational landscape and respond to changing student needs.
On the fast-forward trajectory of technology, COLTT pauses in 2024 to look back to remember that change is a constant. When technology causes disruption, it often brings solutions as well. The COLTT community can best prepare for what’s ahead by drawing on the wisdom cultivated over years of convening, exchanging, and experimenting.
Examples of this year’s topics include (but are not limited to):
- Augmented or virtual reality for teaching and learning
- Data analytics for student assessment and feedback
- Discipline/Field specific uses for AI
- Games or simulations for teaching and learning
- Online collaboration tools for group assignments
- Social media for teaching and learning
- Tools/Software to improve Accessibility in STEM courses
- Use of multimedia (such as video, audio, and images) in the classroom or in assignments
Proposals should be engaging, challenging, effective for students and include the following information:
- Presenter name and institution
- Title and session description
- Purpose/learning objective(s)
- Description of participant engagement activities
- Relevant readings/references
The deadline for proposals is May 3, 2024. Applicants will hear back by June 7, 2024.
