Call for Chapter Proposals: E-Learning Innovations in Academic Libraries
Librarians from Appalachian State University invite you to submit a
proposal for a chapter in their upcoming book, E-Learning Innovations in
Academic Libraries, to be published by McFarland Publishing. This
practical book is intended to be a guide for academic librarians
interested in the creation and uses of e-learning tools, and will be
divided into three sections. Section 1 will include e-learning projects
connected with synchronous/asynchronous classroom learning experiences.
Section 2 will be comprised of chapters about the creation and/or
delivery of e-learning objects. Section 3 will cover examples of
teaching with technology, and focus on ways e-learning enhances the
in-classroom experience.
Examples of relevant topics include:
Virtual tours
Instructional games
Geo-spatial applications
Virtual reality applications
Classroom use of technology
For consideration, e-mail a 1-2 page proposal to either of the editors
by May 30, 2014, clearly presenting your e-learning innovation and its
significance. Proposals should include information about the audience
and need for the e-learning tool, the technology used to create it, the
length of time it has been used, assessment, and the transferability to
other libraries. Final chapters will be 5-7000 words, excluding
endnotes and bibliography. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of
their proposals by June 15, 2014. Complete chapters will be due by
September 30, 2014, as we anticipate publishing this book in Summer 2015.
