Wessex Press Teaching Innnovation Competition Call for Submissions
Registration: Registration for the Fall Educators' Conference will be open in spring 2012.
Participants: Business educators from all disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals to share their work. This is a great opportunity to discuss effective teaching strategies and collaborate with others on future research projects.
Theme: The conference theme is "All Things Millennial." Like me, Follow me, Endorse me, lol - the language of Millennials is firmly established in the collegiate classroom - on campus and online. This raises some important ideas about what we know (or thought we knew) about effective teaching. The conference theme explores these issues with a focus on bridging Millennials' expectations and faculty expertise.

Refereed Papers: Full manuscripts, limited to 12 double-spaced pages can be submitted for presentation consideration via blind peer review.
Position Papers: Two-page position papers outlining works in progress, new developments or issues related to the Conference Theme are also encouraged.
