[AUC-News] AUC Conference 2009 - Call for Papers

[auc-news at auc.edu.au]

The AUC is calling for papers and presentations for its upcoming  
Conference in September 2009 at the National Convention Centre in  
Canberra.

The AUC Conference is held every two years to provide a key  
opportunity for delegates from higher education institutions,  
primarily in Australia and New Zealand, to meet and explore new  
horizons. The 2009 Conference will allow academics, IT staff,  
developers and students to exchange information, ideas, philosophies  
and practical advice on technology innovation, teaching and learning,  
using Apple technology in the higher education environment.

Our theme for 2009 - "you can take IT with you" - reflects the rich  
opportunities presented by access to data anytime and anywhere. Papers  
and presentations are sought in three broad streams:

* Data
Data is all around us, we create, collect, modify, change, store and  
use it every day. As members of a University community we need to  
manage this data, be able to analyse it, record it and change it as  
required. Data is now more than numbers, it can include audio, video,  
podcasts, mash-ups and more.

* Devices
Devices let us access and manipulate the data we create, whether it be  
a standard desktop, laptop or mobile device. We are increasingly  
connected with Wifi and 3G, and technology is changing the way we use  
traditional devices such as the TV.  How do these changes affect the  
teaching and learning experience?

* Dreams
What is the future? Where do we go with anytime, anywhere constantly  
connected communications? How can we manage the future of our  
Universities if we have no need to be on campus?

Successful papers will be published and successful authors funded to  
attend.
