Presentation Format
Between now and October 30, 1998, the Community College Foundation is
soliciting proposals for pre- and post-conference workshops, concurrent
sessions, and poster sessions.

Pre- and Post-Conference Workshops
Three or Six Hours
The selection of pre- and post-conference workshops is extremely
competitive.  Session leaders are expected to be experienced presenters
with in-depth knowledge of their subject area, exceptional presentation
skills, and the expertise to use a variety of multimedia tools in the
course of the workshop as appropriate.

Workshops will be either a) hands-on and computer-based or b) demonstration
and lecture. Six-hour workshops must be hands-on and computer-based design.
 Workshops may be held off-site, subject to the approval of the Foundation.

Each pre- and post-conference workshop presenter will be paid an honorarium
of $150 per three-hour session (excluding corporate representatives) and
receive complimentary, full-conference registration.  A maximum of two
presenters per workshop will be compensated.  Presenters will not be
reimbursed for any expenses. Pre-conference workshops will be held on
Wednesday, April 21. Post-conference workshops will be held on Saturday,
April 24. Presentations focusing on secondary school educators are
especially encouraged for the post-conference workshop.

International Spotlight Sessions
One Hour
International Spotlight sessions feature exemplary models of technology in
education from countries throughout the world.

Concurrent Sessions
One Hour
Concurrent session presenters can be single speakers, teams, or panels.
Concurrent sessions are intended to address key issues and solutions
related to using technology to enhance education.  Most sessions will focus
on a specific case, application, program, or practice within educational
institutions.  Corporations interested in providing a concurrent session
are strongly encouraged to co-present with educators.  Concurrent session
presenters will not receive honoraria and are required to register for the
conference.

A limited number of sessions will be available to TechEd99 sponsors and
exhibitors. These sessions must showcase solutions or applications for
delivery of education and not be a commercial for a product or service.

Poster Session
Two Hours
Poster sessions are informal presentations allowing presenters to engage in
one-on-one dialogue. Concurrent sessions are intended to address key issues
and solutions related to using technology to enhance education. Each
presenter will be provided with a six-foot table. Presenters may bring
traditional posters and/or other support materials to enhance their
presentation.

Selection Process and Expectations of Presenters
The program committee will evaluate all Call for Presentation submissions.
When submitting a proposal, the presenter commits to making a presentation
at the time and place selected by the program committee, preparing written
materials to distribute at the conference, including materials in the
conference proceedings, and registering for the conference (at a special
reduced presenters' fee).

Presenters are expected to provide copies of their session handouts at the
session and respond to post-conference requests for information.

Selection Criteria
* Relevance to conference objectives and selected track
* Innovative use of technology to solve challenges in education
* Qualifications and experience of presenter(s)
* Clarity and quality of proposal

Costs
All presenters, with the exception of pre- and post-conference presenters,
are required to register and pay the conference registration fees and are
not eligible for honoraria or expenses.  Presenters can register for the
reduced rate of $150 prior to February 1, 1999 and $175 thereafter.

Program Changes
Conference coordinators reserve the right to suggest changes in the
proposed presentation and to encourage joint presentations if proposals
have been submitted on similar topics.

Presenters must submit an electronic copy of their one-page abstract for
inclusion in the conference proceedings. The one-page abstract is a
