[Athen] ATHEN E-Journal Call for Papers

[Teresa Haven]

Hi, Shelley!  These are great questions, and ones that could well take
the E-Journal in a different direction depending on the answers.  I'd
like to open up these questions to the officers and membership of ATHEN
-- opinions, reasoning?  
Thanks,
Teresa

Hi, Teresa!

Some questions for you:

- Does the "wild accommodation" have to be for a higher education
student, or even for a student at all?  (I did most of my "wilder" work,
and more creative work, years ago when I worked with individuals who had
developmental and severe physical disabilities -- many did not attend
school.)

- Are photographs encouraged or discouraged in the e-journal papers?
The previous issues appear to be almost exclusively text, save for some
tables and graphs.  (As Yudie the Universal Design Aardvark might say,
"More pictures, please!" ;-)

- Previous issues seem to focus on more "scholarly" topics (the kind
you'd expect in professional journals), whereas the current topic, "Wild
Accommodations That Worked" sounds like it would be at home in "Popular
Assistive Technology" (were there such a magazine).  Not that that's a
problem -- frankly, I think it's a great topic -- but the theme kind of
calls for a different writing style.  Your thoughts on this?

- Is there a specific format or structure you want contributors to
follow in terms of how they describe the accommodation (e.g.,
Background, Statement of Problem, Options Considered, etc.)?

Thanks,
 Shelley (the "other" Haven ;-)

Come on, folks! This is a FUN thing to do! And think how good it will
look on your list of accomplishments during your annual review. Share
your stories and inspire your colleagues -- tell us about Wild
Accommodations that Worked today. 



Your dedicated editor,

ATHEN E-Journal SECOND Call for Papers 



The ATHEN E-Journal requests your contributions for the next issue. Our
topic, decided at the November ATHEN general meeting, is "Wild
Accommodations that Worked." This topic choice rose out of a discussion
of unusual accommodations that several of us had attempted and found to
be highly effective, if somewhat unconventional. We would therefore like
to share stories from throughout the profession to encourage others to
be creative in their use of technology. 



Please submit your papers of approximately 5-10 pages (double-spaced)
via email to Teresa.Haven at asu.edu . Papers should conform to APA
composition standards (http://www.apastyle.org/) as well as using proper
(word processor) style tags. Questions are welcome and may be directed
to the same email address. Extended submission deadline is May 31, 2009.
