...

  • Using
  • Developing
  • Other (don't panic - this one is OK to choose - possibly even better than the rest!)

Using

How are you using Apereo or other software or processes in your organization? Choose this track to share case studies, effective practices, lessons learned, and other strategies to help your colleagues around the globe.

Developing

What have you created, improved, or dreamed up recently?  Choose this track to share development projects, design approaches, usability and accessibility improvement plans and projects. Topics may also include best practices in design and development approaches that could be incorporated into software or practices in the future.

Other (Beyond?)

There are many ways to share knowledge and inspire solutions, and they don't always fit into tidy labels.  Choose this track for all other presentation proposals that go beyond "using" or "developing."  You're encouraged to break the mold, think outside the box, and embrace unique ways of opening minds to "other" topics.
The following are the tracks we used last year.
  1. Awareness and Advocacy
  2. Design and Development
  3. Deployment and Integration
  4. Expanded Solutions
  5. Getting Started
  6. Leadership and Future Directions
  7. Teaching, Learning, Portfolios, and Research
