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 website. 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.

Tutorials and Workshops are intended to enhance the skills and
broaden the perspective of their attendees. They should be
designed to introduce a rigorous framework for learning a new area
or to provide advanced technical training in an area. Submissions
will be selected on the basis of the instructors' qualifications
for teaching the proposed Tutorial or Workshop and their
contribution to the overall conference program. Workshops differ
from Tutorials by involving hands-on experience with
hardware/software provided.
Note: Due to the extra
expense required to provide Workshop (hands-on) equipment, only
Workshops for which instructors provide their own participant
equipment will be accepted. Please state in your proposal what
equipment you will bring.
Tutorial/Workshop proposals must include:
-
Clear description of the objectives
-
Intended audience (experience level and prerequisites)
-
Proposed length (3 hours or 6 hours)
-
200-word abstract
-
1-page topical outline of the content
-
Summary of the instructor's qualifications
