ED-MEDIA Call for Submissions to Student Panel Dissertation Help Sessions

Requirements

1. Submissions are invited for the ED-MEDIA 2005 Student Panels Dissertation Help Sessions (DHS). The DHS will provide an opportunity for students at any stage in their graduate studies (ie. Masters, EdD, or PhD level) to present their work to an audience of peers and faculty. This will be a friendly and constructive event designed to provide participants with valuable feedback on their dissertation effort from leading professors and a variety of peers.
   • The submission should include:
     • An abstract/summary of your research
     • An outline of objstudentDissertationsHelp.htmectives;
     • Research problem; (maximum 200 words)
     • Stage of the research;
     • Literature referenced; (a list of the most important references)
     • Methodology;
     • Expected outcome;
     • Targeted areas for which the student desires feedback or advice.
   • A searchable database of all presenters will be available in the conference website in March. A number of experts in diverse areas of the field attend ED-MEDIA every year, and chances are that professors that have done previous research in your area of interest will be attending this conference.
2. To be eligible for the sessions the student must be a current graduate student within an accredited institution worldwide.
3. The papers will be reviewed by a group of students and faculty affiliated with AACE and will be accepted on the basis of the completeness of the submission and the relevance to the conference.
4. Students of accepted proposals must register and attend the ED-MEDIA conference in order to participate in the Dissertation Help Sessions.

Format

Each student will present and discuss her or his work – students will be allocated a section of a room where they may present their work to interested parties. Students should prepare a brief PowerPoint presentation.

Participants in the discussions could include faculty members who reviewed students’ submissions, peers and other interested faculty. We will make every effort to contact the professors indicated in your submission so that they are made aware of your presentation.
