DEADLINE EXTENDED TechFest 2017: Submit Your Proposal Today!
Share your favorite technologies with the UMBC Community
Last year, the Instructional Technology team held UMBC’s first TechFest. TechFest is designed to bring together UMBC students, faculty, and staff to share their favorite technologies with the campus community through workshops and presentations.
There are two types of sessions that will be offered at TechFest 2017:
Workshop Session (35 minutes)-Presenter(s) provide a brief overview of the instructional technology and offer information based on best practices and use. Participants are provided with at least three take aways implementing use of the technology.
Power Session (70 minutes)-Presenter(s) provide a more in-depth overview of the instructional technology and offer information based on best practices and use. In Power Sessions, participants are given the opportunity to explore the technology through "hands-on" activities.

Proposals must be submitted no later than 5pm on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10 by completing this Google Form. Applicants will be notified about acceptances approximately two weeks after the submission deadline.
