Graduate Student and Research Training Program
Did you know that EdMedia hosts a 'conference within a conference' specifically for research students?
The Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) is proud to offer a special stream of activities, specifically tailored to the needs of graduate students attending the 2012 EdMedia conference in Denver, Colorado.
If you are studying a PhD, Masters degree or other higher research degree, there is much of interest in the program for you.
The program will also appeal to supervisors, advisors, early career researchers and others interested in the conduct of research in educational technology fields.
The program includes:
- A keynote debate address, specifically for the 2012 Graduate Stream Final Program
- A series of presentations and seminars on topics such as:
- Completing your thesis on time: Motivation and monitoring
- Web 2.0 technologies in research
- Ethics of research and informed consent
- Introduction to theory, such as Connectivism and Constructivism
- Data analysis strategies
- Professional enhancement in the field
- A special Graduate Student Reception to welcome you, and to provide opportunities to mix with other students and researchers
- Social networking opportunities through the EdMedia MyConference to facilitate discussion during and after the conference, and a dedicated Twitter stream (#edmediagrad).
- An Outstanding Paper award, presented to a paper where the author (or first named author) is a student.
- Help or feedback on your presentation slides provided every day by the EdMedia planning group member
You can attend as many of these sessions as you wish, and move freely between these sessions and the full conference.
