FULL PAPERS (Live or Pre-Recorded Presentation)

Note: If there is a Final Call, a limited number of Full Papers will be accepted for this Call.

Presentation time: 25 minutes
Submission length: (4–8 pages or 1250–4950 words); an abstract is not sufficient to be evaluated as a Full Paper.
Proceedings length: 6-10 pages

Papers present reports of significant work or integrative reviews in research, development, applications, and societal issues related to all aspects of the conference topics.

A full paper must be based on fully-developed scholarship. A full paper proposal needs to meet both the minimum page/word count length (5-10 pages or 3125–6250 words) as well as address the required components sufficiently for reviewers to make a decision on acceptance. Without sufficient information/fully developed, submissions will not be considered. At a minimum, the following sections must be included in the proposal:

 

  1. Title (Please note: no author names should be included for the purposes of blind review)
  2. Abstract/keywords
  3. Introduction/study context,
  4. Theoretical or Conceptual Framework (if applicable)
  5. Literature review including rationale/significance of study to the field of teacher education
  6. Methods/research methodology: Identify the type of research (qualitative/quantitative/mixed methods), data sources and collection, analysis methods
  7. Results/findings
  8. Discussion/Implications
  9. References
Boyer defines ‘scholarship’ as the ideas of discovery, application, and integration, involving a lifelong commitment to systematic thinking, questioning, and pursuing a greater understanding of teaching and learning.
Research-in-progress submissions should be submitted as a brief paper, poster, or roundtable.

Presentation time: 15 minutes
Submission length: 1-2 pages
Proceedings length: 4-6 pages

Best Practices session presenters discuss and demonstrate their organization’s learning strategies, techniques, issues, solutions, and courseware. This is an opportunity to inform attendees about the lessons learned and future plans from those who have designed, developed, and implemented learning.


PANELS (Live)

Presentation time: 1 hour
Submission length: 2-6 pages (625 – 1875 words)
Proceedings length: 4-6 pages for each paper

A Panel, consisting of 3 – 5 people (including the chair), present their views on a common theme, issue, or question, and then to discusses them with the audience.

The Panel must present an opportunity for the audience to hear well reasoned arguments and discussions about pertinent topics as seen from a variety of viewpoints. For example, ‘on-line testing’ could be a Panel discussion with panelists presenting arguments in support of, and in opposition to, testing.

Panels must include the audience. Thus, the panelists should take no more than 30, of the total 60 minutes, to make their case and then guide the audience through a discussion and series of questions and answers. In an effort to present differing viewpoints, it is a requirement that panelists can NOT all represent the same institution, research project, or association.

Panel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus and timeliness of the topic; expertise of proposed panelists; as well as the potential for informative AND controversial discussion.

Panels must allot at least 50% of the time for interaction and discussion with the audience.

The Panel leader should provide an abstract describing the panel and a submission file with the following sections that describe the panel:

  1. introduction that links the theme to the literature and its significance for the field of information technology and teacher education, around 150 word abstracts of each panelists’ perspective,
  2. list of panelists’ perspective titles and authors, with their organizations, and countries in the order they will be presented, and
  3. outline of how the panel will be organized. After acceptance, the Panel coordinator will be given the option to invite Panel authors to submit their papers to a specific web site. Until then, authors should NOT submit their individual papers for the Panel. Contributing authors may choose to publish their papers in the Proceedings as a Full or Brief Paper. The Panel abstract will only appear in the conference Abstract book.

ROUNDTABLES (Live)

Presentation time: 1 hour
Submission length: 2-6 pages (625 – 1875 words)
Proceedings length: 4-6 pages
AV Provided: WiFi, roundtable

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 typically share a room with 4-6 other concurrently held Roundtables.

If you wish to bring a PC, you could demonstrate a new piece of software, illustrate the process of using it, show participants some of the complexities and tricks about it, and give them an opportunity to try it themselves. Electrical outlets cannot be guaranteed.

Internet (wi-fi) will be provided for all conference session rooms. A screen and projector will not be provided as this is a more informal small group discussion environment not conducive for projecting images from a distance.

These sessions are also appropriate for discussion of instructional strategies, procedures, and evaluation procedures. The idea is not to give a definitive workshop on the topic but to provide participants with enough information to help them decide whether their needs can be met with the program or procedure.

If software is to be discussed, include a description of the software and the objectives of the session.


POSTER / DEMONSTRATIONS (Pre-Recorded)

Presentation time: 2 hours

Poster/Demonstration sessions enable researchers and non-commercial developers to demonstrate and discuss their latest results and developments in progress in order to gain feedback and to establish contact with similar projects.

Poster/Demonstration proposals must include:

  • Description of the planned Poster/Demonstration; should emphasize the problem, what was done, and why the work is important

Poster/Demonstration presenters will be required to arrange for their own systems software and hardware.

Submissions will be selected on the basis of the instructors’ qualifications for teaching the proposed Workshop and their contribution to the overall conference program.

Equipment Note: An instructor PC, projector, screen and WIFI will be provided for the room. Due to the extra expense required, a lab of computers cannot be furnished. If your Workshop is hands-on, please state what equipment you will bring or that participants should BYOL-Bring Your Own Laptop.
