Conference Session Formats:
Sessions will vary in order to provide a robust conference experience for presenters and participants. Presenters are asked to identify their preferred format during submission; however, proposal reviewers may suggest alternative formats suitable to your manuscript.
1. Concurrent Presentations ()
Concurrent Presentations are sessions that present research, theory, concepts, and practices. This track welcomes papers that are fully completed research papers for stand-up presentations. Concurrent sessions are 20 minutes long, including a Q&A session. Submissions are required to be either conceptually- or empirically-based. Conceptually-based papers seek to develop a fuller understanding of education by building on existing knowledge. Empirically-based papers are original research that tests or develops a theory or makes a new contribution to the field’s knowledge base.
2. Roundtable Discussions
Roundtable Discussions create opportunities for small groups to engage in discussion about a particular educational topic. Generally, these sessions consist of 6-12 people and are held at large, round conference tables. The proposal must include a list of 2-3 clearly stated discussion questions to encourage participation among the audience. Please note that several roundtable discussions happen simultaneously in the same large room, so formal presentations using slides and/or other support media are NOT possible.
3. Symposium Presentations
Symposium Presentations are formal presentations on an educational topic. Typically conducted in presentation format, these are used to report interesting initial findings from a research project. Since these sessions are not blind-reviewed, they are not designed for complete research projects. Symposium sessions are 20 minutes long, including a Q&A session.
4. Poster Presentations
Poster Presentations provide an opportunity to present and discuss one main research theme, program, practice, or relevant topic in an informal setting, like an exhibit hall or information fair. The poster session submission includes (1) the significance of the study, (2) the literature preview, (3) the proposed methodology, and (4) the implication/application for education. A good poster session centers on one main theme, presents valuable information, and stimulates discussion. The recommended poster size is 36” tall x 48” wide. (90cm tall, 120cm wide).
