> Greetings everyone,
> Just a reminder that we are looking for presenters for our
> October 24th meeting at University of Massachusetts Boston. The
> website is http://www.nerallt.unh.edu/meeting/index.html The topic
> is "Changing Times, Changing Spaces: Fitting the Space (concrete,
> virtual or blended) to the Learning. The original call is below,
> but we are looking for proposals on how you carried out your
> renovation planning, who composed your planning committee, or how
> you reach out to faculty and students for their input. If you are
> moving to a virtual environment what does that mean in terms of real
> space? How would you describe your virtual presence - a website,
> learning management system, or Web 2.0 tools like podcasting?
>
> If your services have changed how has this impacted the design of
> your facility? Do you do workshops on technology or pedagogy? Do
> you support a variety of users, in addition to language students and
> faculty? Have the skill sets that your staff need to run the
> facility changed? Do they need to be out on the floor so they no
> longer have closed office space. If you have collaborative
> learning spaces for students what are they like? How was (or will)
> your renovation be funded?
>
> These are just some of the topics we would encourage you to submit.
> We're hoping to see how our facilities are changing to meet changing
> demands.
>
> Please note the deadline is September 30th - just over a week away.
> (And registration fee is waived for all presenters.)

> Hope to hear from you,
