Join the Collaborative Cafe
Use the Collaborative Cafe to establish connections and perhaps develop collaborative proposals with others who have similar interests. For example, you may describe a panel presentation and request panelists with specific interests or experiences. Or, you can look for co-presenters who are engaged in specific kinds of activities. We strongly encourage prospective presenters to consider joining in the Collaborative Cafe. We are calling all practitioners, developers and innovators across North Carolina to submit proposals sharing experiences with teaching and learning in tomorrow's world through thought-provoking presentations, active demonstrations, and engaging conversations. We enthusiastically invite submissions that showcase TLT findings and work in progress from faculty, librarians, staff, administrators, and students who would like to share their knowledge and expertise with colleagues. This year's conference addresses teaching and learning interdependencies by adding a K-20 Collaboration track. Proposals about UNC collaborative work, including projects that involve educational, non-profit, commercial, or government organizations, are encouraged. We welcome submissions from non-UNC institutions.

Preference is given to proposals for sessions that:
 * promote effective and innovative teaching and learning practices
 * emphasize collaborative approaches
 * provide useful information, skills, or ideas
 * demonstrate active TLT leadership
 * actively engage participants
 * are consistent with the conference theme

Conference participants include professionals from academic departments, libraries, and teaching and learning centers, as well as those involved with instructional design, distance education, instructional technology, faculty development, information technology, and more!
