Poster Session on IBL Best Practices
Thursday, August 7, 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Hilton Portland, Exhibit Hall
New and experienced instructors implementing inquiry-based learning methods are invited to share their experiences, resources, and insights in this poster session. The posters in this session will focus on IBL best practices. We seek both novel ideas and effective approaches to IBL. Claims made should be supported by data (student responses, sample work, test scores, survey results, etc.). This session will be of interest to instructors new to IBL, as well as experienced practitioners looking for new ideas. Presenters should have their materials prepared in advance and will be provided with a self-standing, trifold tabletop poster approximately 48 in wide by 36 in high. Abstracts should be submitted at www.maa.org/mathfest/abstracts. The deadline for submission is Friday, June 6, 2014. Questions regarding this session should be sent to the organizers.
