Papers are invited for the AUC conference 2009 which focuses on using Apple technology in the higher education environment.  The conference will be held in Canberra in September 2009.  The theme for 2009 is ‘You can take it with you.’

Papers will fit into three streams:

Data - Data is all around us, we create, collect, modify, change, store and use it every day. As members of a University community we need to manage this data, be able to analyse it, record it and change it as required. Data is now more than numbers, it can include audio, video, podcasts, mash-ups and more.

Devices - Devices let us access and manipulate the data we create, whether it be a standard desktop, laptop or mobile device. We are increasingly connected with Wifi and 3G, and technology is changing the way we use traditional devices such as the TV.  How do these changes affect the teaching and learning experience?

Dreams - What is the future? Where do we go with anytime, anywhere constantly connected communications? How can we manage the future of our Universities if we have no need to be on campus?

It seems that Macquarie is a member of the Apple University Consortium, which means that conference presenters (including students) can have their airfare, accommodation and registration costs paid.  The deadline for submitting papers (first round) is Dec 12.
