Paper Submission
We welcome abstracts or proposals which should fit one of the following conference sub-themes, or any others which are interesting and important to the world-wide community of educational and academic developers.
(I) Strategies for enhancing learning for the next generation of students
(II) Policies and practice in institutional and organizational development
(III) The development of higher education across the globe
(IV) Others
Please review the areas of interest under “The Conference Sub-theme” before choosing one of the options above.
Presentation formats
Oral presentations will be 15 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Poster session should provide the opportunity to inform and discuss self-explanatory issues related to the conference theme with the audience. Each presenter gives a brief summary, followed by a group discussion. Poster viewing session will last about 120 minutes.
Symposia will last 60 minutes and consist of three 15-minute presentations, leaving around 15 minutes for discussion and summing-up. A symposium might be used to present contrasting approaches to, or perspectives on, theory, concepts or practice in academic development.
Workshops will last 120 minutes and consist of a series of interactive presentations or selected activities, followed by a discussion period. The emphasis will be on active participation and sharing diverse experiences and ideas. Workshops may explore theoretical or practical issues in academic development focusing on the processes used in practice. A mixture of individual, small group and plenary activity may be accompanied by a very limited amount of formal presentation.
Network Exhibition should be a space designed to meet people interested in networking, leading perhaps to a common future activity or output. All interested networks and participants will fill out a form (to be found in the documentation) that will be managed and distributed so that future relationships can be built according to common research interests.
