We cordially invite you to participate in the 37th Annual POD Conference to be held in Seattle, Washington on October 24-28, 2012. With this year's theme, Pencils & Pixels: 21st Century Practices in Higher Education, we invite an informed exploration of the unprecedented array of technologies, both high-tech and low-tech, in use at institutions of higher learning. New technologies continue to arise, faster than most of us can assimilate. Some are seductive. Others seem to be more trouble to learn than they are worth. Some may seem frivolous, but upon closer examination have exciting applications for teaching, learning, and professional and organizational development. At the same time, many of the very best pedagogical technologies are neither new nor digital. It is probably no coincidence that the growing interest in contemplative practices and "slow teaching" is occurring simultaneously with the current smart phone and social media explosion. How are digital technologies affecting the way students learn? How can we support faculty and students-many of whom wear their smart phones like appendages-in selecting appropriate technologies for the work at hand? When, if ever, is it appropriate to insist that students, faculty, and even organizations disconnect entirely from digital tools and social media? How do high-tech and low-tech pedagogies inform each other? We invite you to share the tools, approaches, and practices that foster excellent teaching, learning, and professional development; strategies and rationale for supporting the technology-resistant to choose and use excellent digital tools; technology-related research findings; and examples of productive disengagement from technology addictions. 

The Teaching Professor Technology Conference will examine the technologies that are changing the way teachers teach and students learn while giving special emphasis to the pedagogically effective ways you can harness these new technologies in your courses and on your campus. The three-day conference will bring together faculty, instructional designers, faculty developers, educational technology leaders, and other higher education professionals interested in learning more about how technology is altering the learning environment.

The 32nd edition of the conference list covers selected events that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2015 are complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held from July 2015 onward. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses to anyone. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next.

This year's Dalhousie Conference on University Teaching and Learning (DCUTL) will explore the integration of learning technologies to foster deep learning in courses and programs and will provide opportunities to discuss how such approaches will continue to influence the higher education landscape. The conference will feature a plenary address by Dr. Norm Vaughan, Professor at Mount Royal University's Faculty of Teaching and Learning and one of Canada's leading experts on blended learning and the effective integration of technology in higher education learning environments.  Dr. Vaughan will be speaking on "The Effective Integration of Blended Learning in Courses and Programs".

The 2015 National Forum on Active Learning Classrooms (NF-ALC) at the University of Minnesota focuses on advancing practice and research on active learning classroom spaces. The NF-ALC will feature new session formats (see the Submission Guidelines) designed to provide opportunities for participants to demonstrate innovative practices and research that leverage the advantages of technology-enhanced learning spaces and active learning pedagogies. Our expectation is that participants from a wide variety of institutions will attend the NF-ALC to a) examine common issues affecting the effective use of these spaces and chart a path for their resolution; b) share successful practices that have enriched the student and faculty experience in active learning classrooms; and c) build and deepen networks with colleagues in order to advance their campus efforts. The forum is framed by the alignment between the use of new learning spaces and achieving the academic priorities of many universities and colleges, such as increased retention, improved graduation rates, student engagement, emerging technologies, and global learning. Since these priorities are of broad interest to all working in higher education, international participation is most welcome.

"This year's theme is "Making IT Mainstream: Everybody's doing IT." With ubiquitous use of smart-phones, tablets and laptops by students and faculty, the days of speaking of educational technology in future or fringe terms are long past. It is now mainstream so conversations at this year's TLt will focus on the mainstream integration of learning technologies at both the level of the institution and individual instructor; what is working and what is not, and how all of this is will continue to effect higher education."
