Presentation Formats:

Paper Presentations (2 or more presenters share 70 minutes for short papers. Presenters who want to allow questions should modify their time accordingly): These sessions provide authors an opportunity to present an abbreviated version of their work. The 'paper' presented may be a finished product or a work in progress.

Poster Sessions (60 minutes): Poster sessions combine graphic display of materials with the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion of the presenter's research. Attendees are welcome to move among the posters to see the breadth of research taking place in the Graduate School of Education.

Consultations (70 minutes): Consultations allow maximum interaction with the presenters. Individual presenters are assigned tables in a large meeting room where interested persons may gather for a discussion with the presenter about his or her paper or project, or they may move among a variety of tables.

Group Presentations or Panels (70 minutes): Presentations are grouped according to a common theme. Formats range from poster to roundtable to panel to paper presentations. Attendees will see a variety of perspectives on a given topic.
