note: the due date for this call has passed

 

Great Ideas For Teaching Students (GIFTS) provides an excellent opportunity for faculty members and/or graduate students to share classroom-tested “great ideas” with other educators. With a focus on ways that temporal dynamics affect our communication practices, this year’s conference theme encourages a variety of pedagogical approaches for reflecting on the past, measuring the present, preparing for the future and challenging presumptions about how time is perceived. Submissions may present an activity, assignment, project, game, simulation, etc. for addressing a specific communication theory, concept, skill, or learning objective.
