October 31. For more information, visit http://www.texler.org/call-for-proposals1.html
Interested participants are encouraged to submit a proposal for one of the following session types:
60-minute Poster Presentation
Posters will be on display during the conference, and a separate conference session will be dedicated to presenters to explain their work and answer questions. Posters can be used to gain valuable feedback on theses, dissertations, or research. This is a good
format for describing a work in progress, or a new process or idea.
20-minute Research-Based or Practice-Oriented Presentation
• Research-Based Presentation: A 20 minute formal talk addressing a small audience followed by a 5 minute Q&A/discussion. It might be original empirical research as well as an original theoretical investigation.
• Practice-Oriented Presentation: A 20 minute practical or “hands-on” presentation by the presenter(s) followed by a 5 minute Q&A/discussion. It can be a practical demonstration of a theory, or an application of pedagogical methodology still in the developmental
stage.
45-minute Practice-Oriented Presentation
• Workshop: A 45 minute practical demonstration of a theory or an application of a pedagogical methodology, followed by a short Q&A/discussion. Presenter(s) should engage the audience through experiential learning techniques |
