INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES INTEREST GROUP
Call for Papers and Panels
Central States Communication Association (CSCA)
Annual Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
April 4-7, 2018
Difference
The Instructional Resources Interest Group invites the submission of competitive papers and panels for the 2018 CSCA convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Any topic related to instructional resources, including all forms of technology, assessment, and instructional ideas is welcomed. Our interest group promotes the interests of faculty and students, as well as other interested in the way that instructional resources promote our conference theme of Difference. For panel submissions, preference will be given to those with panelists representing multiple institutions rather than a single institution. Our interest group strongly encourages undergraduate and graduate student papers. Additionally, we encourage the submission of panels that are co-sponsored with other CSCA units.
Awards: The Instructional Resources Interest Group presents two awards: top competitive paper award and top panel award. Each includes a certificate and a $50.00 prize.
