KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

 

9 AM Thursday Keynote Address ~Frank Christ  
The Rhythm and Blues of Research & Publishing for Learning Center Professionals

Research and publishing are critical activities for learning center administrators and staff. These activities make a difference in how the academic world perceives learning centers, its administrators and staff. In this morning address, Frank Christ, a well published author of material relevant to learning centers, discusses the rhythm of publishing and the blues of authorship to argue that learning assistance will be elevated to a respectable academic role when more learning center professionals research and publish.

 

Noon Friday Keynote Address ~David Caverly~

Hot Licks in the Rhythm and Blues of Researching and Publishing

In his words..." Each year I write several columns named TechTalk in the Journal of Developmental Education. I enjoy writing as it allows me to communicate what I have learned through writing much like I do orally in teaching.  In this short talk, I’ll model how I use technology to explore an idea, find research to support integration, organize the article into an outline, and convert it to connected prose with references.  Come hear how you can too."
 

David’s address leads into the Continuing the Conversation Lunch where you share topics with others at your table. This period of sharing over lunch will be another point of networking at the conference and is included as part of your registration fee.
