> 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.)
