Engaging Faculty in Teaching and Learning

Below is an over view of the Presentation Types:

PAPERS:
Presentation Time: 20 minutes
These papers are brief. more condensed presentations or work-in-progress projects.

The proposal should be clearly indicated:

  • what is going to be shown or demonstrated;
  • the major theories or teaching concepts that underlie the paper;
  • relevant URL's or literature references (just key sources)
ROUND TABLES:
Presentation time:50 minutes
These sessions allow maximum interaction in informal, small-group discussions on a single topic. The format is appropriate for papers, projects, or work-in-progress that encourage discussion.  Roundtables share a room with other concurrently held Roundtables.

These sessions are appropriate for discussion of teaching strategies, procedures, and assessment.  The idea is not to give a definitive workshop on the topic, but to provide participants with enough information to help them consider ways they can utilize this teaching strategy in their own classroom.  It is common to provide handouts or examples of what is being descussed to facilitate participant use of those materials.

SYMPOSIA:
Presentation time: 50 minutes

A Symposium is a collection of Full and/or Brief Papers on a theme that has been coordinated and led by the symposium's leader(s).   The Symposium leader should provide a abstract briefly describing the symposium and a submission file with the following sections:
  • an introduction linking the symposium theme to teaching theory and methods
  • short abstract (100-150 words) of each paper to be presented
