Call for Proposals

Submissions Are Now Closed

Deadline for Submissions - April 1, 2003

Submissions are invited for a new event to be held during the 2003 Annual Meeting (August 3-6 in Honolulu, Hawaii). The new Effective Learning Strategies Forum will showcase ideas, research, strategies and education innovations that support learning in accounting programs.

The poster session will provide the opportunity for presenters to have an intimate forum for exchange in an informal, free flowing session where authors are available for a specified 60 to 90-minute period to discuss their work with circulating meeting participants.

The intent of the Effective Learning Strategies Forum is to highlight a broad range of topics. Faculty interested in sharing learning-related interests and projects and educational innovations are encouraged to submit proposals. Possible session topics include:

  • Successful teaching activities for specific courses
  • Course delivery using DVD or online platforms
  • Course/classroom research projects
  • Implementing innovative curricula
  • Critical thinking and cognitive skills development
  • Emphasizing skills required on the new CPA exam
  • Integrating technology into courses
  • Blending software into courses and curriculum
  • Effective approaches for using cases
  • Integrating systems into courses and curriculum
  • Introducing the power of XML into courses and curriculum
  • Using service learning approaches
  • Identifying and recruiting students into accounting
  • Effectively managing large classes
  • Activity-based teaching
  • Using workplace-authentic teaching resources available from professional organizations
Submission information:
  • A PDF submission form is available online or you can email Linda Watterworth (linda@aaahq.org) to have a form emailed or faxed to you.
  • Peer review of submissions will be completed in April and notifications sent on or before May 1.
Initial details:
  • The ELS Forum will take place in a large area where each session presenter is assigned a large bulletin board for display.
  • Poster presentations may include brief narratives, pictures, tables, graphs, photos and other materials. Think in terms of graphic impact for your topic.
  • Poster and other specifications will be provided upon acceptance of the poster presentation.
  • Poster presenters will be responsible for their own display materials and handouts and for set up and removal of their displays.
  • If your poster session includes electrical equipment, you will need to provide your own equipment and source of power, (e.g., batteries). No electrical support or Internet connections will be available.
  • Those interested in sharing and gathering great ideas and engaging in lively conversations about learning in accounting are encouraged to submit and attend!
