Do you use a classroom activity to help students understand networks? Share it with others in Connections!

Submit your abstract (up to 300 words) to [email protected] by 15 September 2025

We invite abstracts for short papers describing an interactive classroom activity designed to illustrate, demonstrate, or reinforce network features or processes. Submissions are welcome for activities designed:
• for teaching about any network feature or process
• for any level of student (e.g., high school, undergraduate, graduate)
• for any discipline (e.g., social science, natural science)
• for any course (e.g., specialty course on networks, general course with a module about networks)

We especially encourage abstracts co-authored by instructors who have designed/used the activity and students who have participated in the activity.

Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper in Spring 2026. Invited submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published open-access in Connections at no cost to the author.

Submit your abstract (up to 300 words) to zpneal@msu.edu by 15 September 2025
