Now Open - 2011 AERA Annual Meeting Call for Submissions and Volunteer Chair and Discussant
Dear AERA Members,
I am writing to encourage you to participate in the 2011 AERA Annual Meeting to be held Friday, April 8 – Tuesday, April 12 in New Orleans, LA. Kris D. Gutiérrez, AERA President and Joanne Larson, Chair, 2011 Program Committee are pleased to announce this year’s Annual Meeting Theme: “Inciting the Social Imagination: Education Research for the Public Good.” Now is the time to advance a paper or session submission for consideration by a division, special interest group, or committee and to volunteer as a chair or discussant.
Deadline for Paper and Session Submissions is July 15
Please review the Call for Submissions as it contains important information about this year’s Annual Meeting theme and submission requirements. Please login to advance a paper or session submission. As introduced last year, please again pay special attention to the six elements that must be addressed in the narrative paper submissions even if the results, conclusions, or findings are not complete or final at the time of the submission.
Also, please indicate your preferred type of session and willingness to present in alternative formats at the time of submission. The roundtable format introduced at the 2010 Annual Meeting was very well received. I encourage you to consider presenting in this format, as well as the poster session format, both of which allow for greater interaction than a paper session.
Volunteer to Serve as a Chair or Discussant by August 31
Please review the Call for Volunteer Session Chairs and Discussants and consider volunteering. Please login to volunteer as a chair or discussant. The quality of the AERA Annual Meeting depends on education researchers with appropriate expertise who serve as chairs and discussants for paper sessions and roundtables.
Please contact the Meetings Team at annualmtg@aera.net or (202) 238-3200 with any questions and I look forward to your participation in an enriching 2011 Annual Meeting.
Kind regards,

VSM Podcast – AERA 2010: Duck And Cover: Are Rural Students Taking Basic Courses To Avoid Taking Them Online? Introduction
The May 2010 podcast is a recording of the first presentation that I made at the AERA 2010 conference, and was also the third Sunday session related to K-12 online learning. It was described in the program as:Scheduled Time: Mon, May 3 – 10:35am – 12:05pm Building/Room: Sheraton Denver / Grand Ballroom Section 2
In Session Submission: Rural Education SIG: Roundtable 7
Authors: *Dennis M. Mulcahy (Memorial University – Newfoundland)
*Michael Kristopher Barbour (Wayne State University)
Abstract: As out-migration ravages rural regions in Newfoundland and Labrador, more schools are relying upon virtual schooling to offer courses students require to graduate. There are concerns that virtual schooling has been shown to be an effective alternative, primarily, for a select group of students. However, with a wider range of students forced into this largely independent learning environment, data from Ministry of Education reports indicate that rural schools who rely upon the CDLI for their required course offering have a substantially higher than average enrollment in basic level courses. If the reason for this is due to students trying to avoid online courses, significant changes are required in the design, delivery and support of the province’s virtual school.
As always, the actual podcast is in the entry that immediately follows this one.
