This year's AECT Annual Convention in Anaheim, CA offers the opportunity for you to share late-breaking developments in your research or best-practices in a new "Hot Topics" strand. This invitation to submit original work is meant to feature very recent discoveries and outcomes that have significance to the field and that have the potential to influence practice in our discipline. Inclusion of this new category of presentations offers authors the opportunity to disseminate contemporary initiatives in a timely manner. The authors' ability to document why their proposal should be considered for this strand will be critical in the selection process. Abstracts of late-breaking original proposals will be accepted from July 15 to August 15, 2010. Proposal submission is online at www.aect.org/
Successful authors will be notified before August 30.
