Call for presentations
Submissions closed
The call for presentations has closed and all presenters have been notified.
Paper
This is a 20 minute speaker presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions and answers.
All sessions are chaired. The chair’s role is to introduce the presenter and keep the presentation within the time limit.
We recommend against reading entire papers, and suggest you provide handouts and visual supports, such as Powerpoint, to assist delivery. Multiple-authored presentations are welcome.
Workshop (onsite)
A workshop is a session of up to two hours, involving substantial interaction.
Workshops offer professional development opportunities for participants, e.g. practical demonstrations, learning new skills, collaborative activity. Workshops can have one or more facilitators.
The viability of a proposal is dependent on the availability of suitable spaces and facilities. For proposals of longer than two hours duration please discuss with the conference committee.
Showcase
This is an opportunity to present a 5 minute digital projection (still and /or moving image with sound) that showcases process, work in progress, student work or aspects of teaching and learning.
Format requirements are either Powerpoint sequence (with or without sound) or moving image files (.mov, .avi, .mpeg, .wmv).
The showcase session includes 9 sessions; presenters will not speak to the work until the 15 minute chaired question and answer period at the end of the session.
