AECT 2009
Integrative Approaches Meeting Challenges
Louisville, Kentucky
Concurrent Sessions: Wednesday-Saturday, October 28-31, 2009
Workshop Sessions: Tues, Wed & Sat Oct 27, 28, & 31
The Research and Theory division promotes the development and advancement of theory; promotes, presents, and disseminates rigorous research and scholarship; advocates the study of social and cultural issues in the field; and supports, fosters, and mentors emerging scholars. Any studies that embody excellent research methods in any area of interest to AECT members could be appropriate for submission to R&T. Topics such as the relationship between research and theory, promising research methods, ethical considerations in research, challenges associated with conducting research with data from web-based sources such as blogs, and the position of Educational Technology as a field in the context of related fields such as the Learning Sciences, Cognitive Science, Psychology, etc., might be of particular interest to R&T division members.??
This year we encourage authors to submit their work in the following categories:
Category 1: Completed Study
Report findings from a study that is complete
Category 2: Work in Progress
Report the progress of a study currently underway
Category 3: Research Methodology
Report research methodologies that are interesting to the AECT community.
Authors can submit their work in any of the above categories that fit the interest of the R&T division interest, conference theme, and conference subthemes. When submitting your proposal, please state in the abstract which category you are submitting your work. For example, "this proposal reports a Category 1 Completed Study on..," "this proposal reports a Category 2 Work in Progress on..," or "this proposal reports a Category 3 Research Methodology on.."
We welcome proposals that fit the 3 categories in the traditional paper presentation format as well as the special features of this conference that include:
. Interdisciplinary panels
. Presentations at a distance
. Reflection papers
. Interactive workshops

Regular Proposals
Proposals Open - December 15, 2008
Proposals Close - February 14, midnight (EST), 2009
Proposal Process
All proposals must be submitted electronically (see Proposal Submission Process, below) to one primary AECT division or affiliated organization for consideration. Guidelines and principles posted at www.aect.org will assist in preparing proposals for submission. Presenters are expected to follow the AECT Code of Ethics, available at http://www.aect.org/About/Ethics.asp .
Presenters are limited to making no more than two (2) concurrent session presentations as key/first presenters during the convention. That is, proposers must select one division or affiliate to receive their proposal and not submit the same proposal (or one that is largely the same) to any other division or affiliate. Each division/affiliate has a Convention Planner (usually the President-Elect). If a Convention Planner and/or the peer review panel feel a proposal is not well suited to their division/affiliate, they may recommend it for consideration by another division/affiliate. This will occur without action by the proposer. In addition, a person may propose no more than two concurrent session presentations on which he or she is key presenter, although that individual may be a co-presenter on other proposals and may propose roundtables/poster presentations.
The intent of (1) not allowing submission of the same (or a very closely related) proposal to more than one division and (2) limiting the number of presentations on which a person may be key presenter is to assure a diverse program in which many strong presentations are included and little duplication occurs.
If you are unsure of the suitability of your proposal to a particular group, we encourage you to contact the Convention Planner for that group or organization.The following list describes particular topics suggested by each group and identifies the planner for each group.
