Submission Formats
The symposium will feature various presentation formats. All accepted proposals can be considered for publication in the conference proceedings and will be required to submit a short or full article. Authors will be notified of this option upon acceptance.
Paper Presentations (300-500 words)
Duration: 20 minutes
Paper presentation proposals should detail work or research—either in progress or completed—that aligns with the conference theme. The goal of these presentations is to foster discussions among academics and practitioners. Submissions should outline a clear framework and highlight the main findings or recommendations of the study to facilitate meaningful dialogue. Each paper session will last 20 minutes, including 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A. Submissions must address the objectives or purposes of the work, the conceptual or theoretical framework, methods used, key results, and the academic or practical significance of the research.
Poster Sessions (150-500 words)
Posters are intended to showcase projects, programs, research, activities, or similar experiences that are completed, in progress, in early stages, or represent novel and promising ideas. All posters will be displayed during a dedicated parallel session. Feedback and insights from colleagues on these innovative developments are highly encouraged. Poster submissions should briefly address the objectives or purposes, conceptual perspectives or theoretical framework, methods, results, and the academic or practical significance of the work.
Symposia (150-500 words)
Duration: 60 minutes
Symposia provide a platform to explore specific research issues, problems, or topics from diverse perspectives. Participants can present conceptually linked work through alternative solutions, methodologies, or contrasting viewpoints related to a common theme. Organizers are encouraged to utilize various presentation formats, including discussant comments, to effectively convey key points and stimulate dynamic discussions among presenters and attendees. Symposium submissions are strongly encouraged and should present systematic research programs or multiple perspectives on important theoretical, applied, and/or methodological issues.
Tech in Practice (150-300 words)
Duration: 30 minutes
In these highly practical sessions, presenters will share best practices or conduct teaching demonstrations related to IT in education. The aim is for attendees to learn about evidence-based practices or how to leverage technology to implement innovative approaches. Each practitioner session will be 30 minutes long, comprising a 20‑minute presentation followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. Session proposals must clearly specify the technologies to be discussed and identify specific evidence-based teaching and learning practices to be demonstrated.
Panel Discussion (150-500 words)
Duration: 60 minutes
These four- or five-person panels focus on engaging topics of contemporary concern and professional interest. During these sessions, panelists briefly compare and contrast their disciplinary expertise while actively engaging with a participating audience. Submissions must include a designated chair to organize and facilitate the interaction between panel members and attendees. Abstracts should clearly state the purpose of the discussion and identify panel members along with each member's relevant expertise for the session.
Professional Workshops and Interactive Sessions (150-500 words)
Duration: 60 minutes
Professional workshops and interactive sessions aim to provide opportunities for sharing experiences related to sound pedagogical and research practices in engaging and interactive formats. Potential topics include the implementation and demonstration of effective learning designs, innovative applications of technology in teaching and learning, discussions on developing research or pedagogical ideas, and issues related to IT in education. Submissions should include clear objectives, an overview of the presentation, detailed information about the work, a plan for engaging the audience in meaningful discussions, and the academic or practical significance of the work.
