Proposals sought for Graduate Student Educational Research Symposium

The Graduate Student Education Council and the College of Education are inviting submissions for the 10th Annual Graduate Student Educational Research Symposium on March 24.

This year's theme is "Digital Education: Are You Really Ready?" Graduate students from all departments at Purdue with research related to education are invited to submit a proposal. Presentations will be posters and seven-minute TEDx-style talks. Posters can be related to education in some way, but the talks must be loosely aligned with technology and education. Proposals should be submitted via a Qualtrics survey by Feb. 19.

First-place awards will be given for Best Completed Research Project and Best In-Progress Research Project.

The symposium will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Purdue Memorial Union's North Ballroom. The keynote speaker will be Curtis Bonk, professor of education at Indiana University and president of CourseShare. Drawing on his background as a corporate controller, CPA, educational psychologist, and instructional technologist, Bonk will offer insights into the intersection of business, education, psychology and technology.

A well-known authority on emerging technologies for learning, Bonk reflects on his speaking experiences around the world in his popular blog, TravelinEdMan. He has authored several widely used technology books, including "The World Is Open," "Empowering Online Learning," "The Handbook of Blended Learning," "Electronic Collaborators" and "Adding Some TEC-VARIETY."
