Call For Session Proposals
Enriching Scholarship 2020
Dear Colleagues,
The U-M Teaching and Technology Collaborative is very excited about the upcoming Enriching Scholarship (ES) conference, May 4-7, 2020 on the Ann Arbor campus. This conference brings together U-M faculty, staff, and students to share best practices and explore new opportunities that enhance teaching, learning, and research.
The call for session proposals is now open, and proposals are due January 31st.
For more information about the session types and to submit a proposal for a workshop or presentation, please use this Session Proposal Form. Past presenters and new voices are encouraged to take part, including graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. If you’ve never presented before, sharing your experiences can bring a valuable new perspective to our community!
Your session can range from a 5-10 minute lightning talk presented alongside other similarly themed presentations to a 1-2 hour workshop. Session formats spanning from talks about incorporating technology into your pedagogy to hands-on, "how-to" workshops are accepted.
If you use or support technology for education, we want to help you share your knowledge and experiences!

The Teaching and Technology Collaborative (TeachTech) supports the U-M community’s efforts to leverage technology for teaching, learning, and research. We provide opportunities and resources for the use of technology that is driven by purpose rather than tools. TeachTech members connect you to a wide variety of services and experts across all campus units through consultations, workshops, collaborations, and other activities. We host the annual Enriching Scholarship conference, first offered in 1998, to bring together U-M faculty, staff, and students to share best practices and explore new opportunities that enhance teaching, learning, and research.
In the meantime, check out our full slate of upcoming Winter workshops!
