   - Authors at a distance with video/audio capabilities may opt to present
   virtually through Second Life. Please contact tcetc at tc.edu to discuss
   this option.
   - Abstracts should summarize the proposed presentation in a way that
   permits evaluation of the paper's quality and significance. The committee
   will consider:

1) the paper's appeal to research communities interested in instructional
media and emerging communication tools;
2) the paper's suitability for oral presentation; and
3) the quality of the content and significance of results.

   prompt you to include the paper title, presenter's name(s), institutional
   affiliation(s) and email address(es) of the author(s). In addition, please
   include a biographical statement for each author of no more than 100 words.
   If your paper is accepted, this statement may be posted to the conference
   website and included in the program.


Confidentiality of submissions will be maintained during the entire review
process; all rejected submissions will be kept confidential. Accepted
abstracts will be posted to the conference website. Presenters will have the
opportunity to revise their abstracts and post them no later than May 1,
2010. Participation in this conference does not preclude submission of that
work to other academic conferences.

Exceptional conference presenters may be asked to submit full papers to
appear in a publication of conference proceedings.
