Presentation Formats for Sessions at the Conference
You will be assigned one of four formats for the presentation of your paper:
- A 40-minute individual session, in which you briefly summarize your paper and follow up with discussion.

- A panel discussion of approximately one hour, in which two or three papers submitted by different authors are grouped by topic, with each author having 10 minutes or so to summarize his or her work and relate it to the other papers. Discussion follows. If you are assigned to a panel, we will give you the names and e-mail addresses of the panelists with whom you are teamed, and you should read their proposals on the website before the session.

- The all-conference interactive (poster) session, in which you will have table space and audiovisual equipment as you requested on your proposal cover sheet to display your paper, handouts, overheads, videos, etc., in a large room with other presenters. During this one-hour session, conference participants can discuss your ideas and results with you.

- A Conference dinner session (one hour). This is a new format for 2007 in which you conduct your session during either the Friday night or Saturday night Conference dinnertime period at a round table with a group of six or seven participants who have pre-registered for your session. You may bring a laptop (it must run on battery power; there will be no A/C access) and handouts. Upon your request we will provide a flipchart. Dinner presenters then may eat dinner together afterwards.

- An idea swap session. This format is the same as for the interactive poster session (see above), but is for those who have an interesting idea for a teaching and learning project that they want to discuss with colleagues but who have not yet carried out the actual study.
