Types of Submissions ​

Paper Presentations. Scholarship that is completed and includes either applied or theoretical research. Papers will typically be presented in 20-30 minutes using PowerPoint or other presentation software (time to be determined based on number of accepted papers). Paper presentations will be grouped with two or three other related papers in a session as determined by conference organizers.  

The proposal abstract should consist of 250-500 words summarizing the presentation and include the topic/research question, methodology, results, implications, and relevance to the ICCTE audience. The proposal should not contain any identifying references to the authors.

 

Symposia. A session organized by a convener with 2-3 papers exploring a common theme. (The convener will serve as organizer, facilitator, and discussant for the session,) This could also be a panel facilitated by an ICCTE Research or

Special Interest Group.

In the case of symposia, please include a 1-3 paragraph summary of each paper to be included in the symposium and a summary paragraph explaining the overarching thread that unites the papers.  

 

Research Brief: Innovative Practices. Appropriate topics for this presentation session include but are not limited to innovative teaching practices, program/campus initiatives, or other topics related to the conference theme but without a specific, formal research component. Innovative Practice presentations will typically be presented in 20-30 minutes using PowerPoint or other presentation software (time to be determined based on number of accepted proposals).

Proposal abstracts should consist of 250-500 words summarizing the presentation and include a topic description, link to the conference theme, and relevance to the ICCTE audience. The proposal should not contain any identifying references to the presenters.

 

Poster. The poster session will occur in a room in which several people have set up a poster summarizing their research. Interested conference-goers can speak with the researchers and ask questions on a relatively informal basis. Posters can be augmented with handouts and laptop-based PowerPoint presentations. As conference organizers acknowledge travel with a poster is challenging, those interested in presenting a poster may request to purchase posters or trifold boards at the conference site. 

Poster proposals should consist of 250-500 words summarizing the presentation and include a topic description, link to the conference theme, and relevance to the ICCTE audience. The proposal should not contain any identifying references to the presenters.

​

Roundtable. A roundtable discussion/presentation will typically last 20-30 minutes (depending on the number of accepted proposals) and topics may include promising instructional practices, research in progress, or other topics related to the conference theme and/or ICCTE purpose. Presenters should plan to provide an overview of the roundtable topic and facilitate discussion between attendees.

Roundtable proposals should consist of 250-500 words summarizing the presentation and include a topic description, link to the conference theme, and relevance to the ICCTE audience. The proposal should not contain any identifying references to the presenters.

Submission Procedures

Applications received by December 15, 2021 will be reviewed first and individuals will be notified of the committee’s decision by January 15, 2022. Additional proposals will be accepted after December 15, 2021 and reviewed on a monthly basis until all conference presentation slots are filled. Early submission provides presenters with more time to secure institutional funding for attendance and travel. 

If your research or work does not seem to fit neatly into one of the themes and/or is still in progress, yet seems important to the mission and community of ICCTE, the committee still encourages you to submit a proposal.
