Guidelines for presenters
  1. Paper presentations – These cover a range of topics and focus on both research and assessment. Presenters are researchers and practitioners from diversified sectors. Presentations will be 20 minutes, followed by five minutes’ discussion. Please save your slides on a USB stick and copy the file to the computer in your room well before your talk.
  2. Work in Progress (WIP) Saturday 19th November 11am-12pm - This session gives researchers and teachers the opportunity to share and discuss aspects of research projects in which they are currently involved, or classroom assessment tasks they have developed. In doing so, they will receive feedback from conference attendees. The one-hour session will be divided into three lots of 20 minutes, so that each presenter has the opportunity to discuss their project/task with 3 groups of interested conference attendees. Each room will have several presenters, and each presenter will be stationed at a table in a different area of the room.
  1. Poster presentations – Will be given at the Works in Progress session on Saturday 19th November.
