To attend

If you would like to attend, please contact Sandy Ritter (the end of October is the deadline for the first seminar). Places are limited.

To submit an invited written paper

The format for the series of one-day seminars at each of the six WUN universities in the UK is as follows.

1 hour is allowed for each paper, including a ten-minute formal response and time for questions and answers. Therefore each paper from the main contributors must be 30-40 minutes in length. We encourage lively presentation, with no direct reading from a written paper unless it is prepared as a script for oral delivery.

Each contributor is asked to let Richard Andrews have a formal written paper at least one month in advance of the seminar. This will give time for the respondent to read and compose his/her own response in advance of the seminar; and for copies of the paper to be made.

Formal written papers should be 4-5,000 words in length. There will be no conference proceedings as such, but all written papers will be considered for a Handbook for Elearning Research, which is currently being proposed to Sage for publication after the series in 2007. The proposal has been invited, so there is a good chance of it being accepted. Papers should therefore not be offered to journals in the interim, without discussion with the coordinating editor of the proposed Handbook. There is scope for dual publication, especially if a paper appears in a journal between now and 2007, and is revised for publication in the handbook.

Contributors will have a chance to revise their papers for submission to the editors of the proposed handbook following the seminar. Contributions for the handbook will also be invited and commissioned from beyond the seminar series.

Written papers should be double-spaced and printed on one side of the paper only.

If you would like to submit a paper, please contact Sandy Ritter .
