As one "soon to

promotion ask where else they can share the AECT message to strengthen our

enthusiasm.


=================================================

I agree that we need to disseminate our findings beyond AECT. However,
considering the cost of attending conventions, many of faculty members are
limited to one or maybe two national conferences a year (consider that AECT
and AERA are both in California next year) and must make a choice. Limiting
presenters to two presentations may likely motivate them to present at
other conferences where they can be on the program more than twice, AND
skip AECT altogether.

I am sure that was not the intent of your statement, but my description
could be the result.

I am also concerned, as Peggy Cole mentioned, that there is a move to
reduce the quality of accepted papers by "requiring" planners to accept
lesser quality papers for the slots. Could Kent or someone explain the
rationale for imposing the two paper limit?
