ROUNDTABLES

RoundtablesPresentation time: 1 hour
Submission length: 2-6 pages (625-1875 words)
Proceedings length: 4-6 pages (1250-3750 words)

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 share a room with 2 – 3 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.

Internet (via your wireless card) and electricity will be provided. A screen and projector will not be provided as this is an 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.

These papers are pre-recorded and available to attendees to view and comment, ask questions, and discuss with presenters throughout the conference.

All virtual sessions are presented asynchronously. Accepted submission authors will create a pre-recorded video and provide a URL link to that video. We can only accept YouTUbe or Vimeo links. Videos should not exceed 15 minutes.

Authors will also have access to all conference papers and presentations via AcademicExperts.org. Asynchronous presenters are required to post an opening comment/question on their presentation page, and respond to attendee feedback during the conference week.

To be included in the Final Program, accepted Virtual Presenters must register by the confirmation deadline and submit their presentation file. All presentation files will be reviewed.

Virtual Paper sessions enable research, developers, and practitioners to present and asynchronously discuss, via the conference website and online Discussion board, their latest results and developments in progress in order to gain feedback and to establish contact with similar projects.

These papers are brief, more condensed presentations or work-in-progress projects.  These sessions also may be new extensions to existing projects, newly initiated projects, and/or projects underway that include opportunities for additional partners.

Virtual Paper proposals must include:

  • Description of the planned Paper should emphasize the problem, what was done, and why the work is important

The submission should clearly indicate:

  • what is going to be shown or demonstrated or offered
  • the major aspects
  • the context or motivation
  • relevant URLs or literature references

To be included in the Final Program, accepted Virtual Presenters must register by the confirmation deadline and submit their PPT or PPTX (without audio or video) presentation file. All presentation files will be reviewed.
