AAEEBL Updates

It’s easier than ever to submit to The AAEEBL Learner!  Use our new link!

Your AAEEBL Learner co-editors have devised a simple way for you to share your “quick takes”: news, updates, announcements, suggestions for best practices, gleanings from lessons learned, classroom strategies, effective prompts for reflection, eportfolio research and survey practices and questions among other things.  All you have to do is go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/aaeebl-learner and complete a form that will enable you to speedily share updates about your class, your campus or program with the eportfolio community.  Remember, we are not looking for finished products necessarily, but works-in-progress that will generate ideas. 

The new link does not replace our established way of sending longer submissions, but it does enable those of you who have something brief to share to contribute.  Refer to http://www.aaeebl.org/talfor submission guidelines.  A new link to the short form for quick takes will be added to the AAEEBL Learner landing page soon.

Images that accompany your “quick take” may be sent to Judy Williamson Batson (judybatson@me.com), or you may list the URL for any image to be used with the article, along with an explanatory caption. (Put one URL and one caption on each line when you complete the form.)

The next AAEEBL Learner deadline is November 16 for the December issue, due out December 1.
