Parallel Paper Presentation

Parallel Paper Presentations are individual research presentations of a similar theme or topic that are grouped together into a session that runs concurrently with other sessions. All parallel sessions will be 1 hour long. Each paper will be allocated around 15-20 minutes.

Unless a Chairperson is specified, the first presenter of each parallel session will serve as the Chairperson for the session. The Chairperson is expected to keep time and introduce each presenter. Presenters can come to their venue ahead of time to load their presentation slides onto the computer. There will be a Student Helper in each room to assist with technicalities.

Teacher Forum

Teacher Forums are a cohesive cluster of research presentations and theoretical perspectives focused on a specific topic. All sessions will be 1.5 hours long, with 3-4 presentations. A suggested format is for the Chair to briefly present the theme of the session first (5 minutes). Then, each paper will be allocated 15-20 minutes, depending on the number of papers. Finally, the Discussant (otherwise, the Chair) will provide an overview to elaborate on the various presentations and set aside 10-15 minutes to engage the audience in discussion. Please noted that this is just a suggested format. There is flexibility for the contributors of each session to decide on the structure and time allocation for their session. The Chair is encouraged to contact the various presenters to discuss the details.
