Home > Upcoming Conference > Mini Workshops

We are soliciting mini workshops to be presented at the 31st annual meeting of the Association for Biology Laboratory Education (ABLE). Mini workshops are 45 minutes in length (some mini workshops may be presented twice). Mini workshops are given to present novel curricular approaches in a discussion format, to demonstrate laboratory techniques, or to present the use of computer technology/software in laboratory curriculum.

The mini workshop submission deadline is March 1. A decision on provisional acceptance is made within 1-2 weeks and a notification letter sent shortly thereafter. Final acceptance is contingent on the primary presenter's paid registration by April 1.

If you have any questions concerning the mini-workshop format, please contact Ralph Preszler (rpreszle@nmsu.edu). The members of the selection committee are Tom Fogle (St. Mary's College, IN) and Ralph Preszler (New Mexico State University).

Presenters supply much of their own materials, including handouts, and are responsible for all conference and travel costs.  The host will provide general lab equipment, such as glassware, and some help with laboratory supplies.   Requests for laboratory supplies provided by the host institution need to be clearly described in your application below.  Please contact Ralph Preszler if you have questions regarding equipment or supplies.  The first author, or designated author, of each miniworkshop presentation will be mailed a $50 honorarium after completion of the workshop.  The conference program and registration form will be announced on the conference website by March 1. Additional information may be obtained by contacting the host (Bob Hodson).
